Are Man City & Bayern Munich worthy favorites?
The two favorite teams for the coveted Champions League trophy, are Man City & Bayern Munich. At current odds, a €100 bet on either team could win you €450.
Man City will go for gold with Pep at the wheel. After the corona stop, they got off to a strong start with a 3-0 win over The Gunners. They have also impressed in the rest of the matches. City is a worthy contender for the Champions League. However, the pressure is on, due to a penalty Man City is excluded from European soccer for the next two years, so it should happen now. And can the departure of Leroy Sané still cause difficulties?
Bayern Munich have also come out very strong after the corona stop. They seem invincible in the Bundesliga and recently captured their eighth consecutive national league title. Only Juventus has managed to do that before.
5 times your bet for PSG
French Ligue 1 winner PSG has been given a rating of 5 by TOTO, so a bet of €100 will earn you €500. In the 8th final, Dortmund were narrowly eliminated with a 2-1 loss away and a 2-0 win at home. But now that Neymar is back in the picture, PSG is definitely a club to keep an eye on this UCL tournament, you can see that in the odds! They are seen as favored after Man City & Bayern Munich.
Can the Spanish giants impress again?
Next in line is Barcelona who are in a title race with Real Madrid. Barcelona has a quote of 9.00, so at a bet of €100 you can win €900. Barcelona’s magic has not been much to admire this past season. Nevertheless, they remain one of the best contenders for this season’s Champions League. In the 8th final, they still have to deal with Napoli.
Real Madrid have been given a real underdog quote of 26.00, meaning that a small bet of €10 could earn you €260. They last won the Champions League in 2018 under Zinedine Zidane. Since then, Zidane has been away and back again to lead Los Blancos to another title. With success, as they seem to be heading for the title. But do they also know how to surprise in the Champions League?
The next Spanish giant is Atletico Madrid, they have been given a remarkably low quote if you ask us. After careful consideration, we understand TOTO. Atletico is always strong in Europe and knocked out Liverpool in the 8th final, so their self-confidence won’t be an issue.

Can Ronaldo grab another title before retiring from Juventus?
The first game of the two-match series against Lyon ended 1-0 in favor of Lyon. Juventus will therefore have to work hard if they are to be allowed to play in Lisbon. Ronaldo will want to take the Italian superpower in tow. The odds for Juventus are in our opinion on the high side, so favorable! We think Ronaldo will be very motivated and could still provide a surprise. A bet of €100 on Juventus, gets you as much as €1500!
