Champions League Odds: Liverpool favourites for trophy
Update: 29.11.24
Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Real Madrid last night resulted in the odds on them winning the Champions League trophy being slashed by the leading UK bookmakers.
Perfect start
Liverpool continued their excellent start to this season’s Champions League campaign by making it five wins from five in the tournament. The Reds took the lead after the break through Alexis McAllister, while Cody Gakpo was brought off the bench and added a second and wrap up the three points in a match which saw Mbappe and Salah miss from the penalty spot.
Odds slashed
This victory further cemented Liverpool’s position at the summit of the 36-team Champions League table where they sit with a maximum fifteen points from their five league stage outings, 2 points separating them from second-placed Inter Milan. The bookmakers reacted to last night’s result at Anfield by further slashing the odds on Arne Slot’s men becoming European champions this term, some betting sites going as low as 4/1 that the trophy ends up on Merseyside (best odds 9/2).
Biggest threat
Despite hitting some dreadful form in recent weeks, Manchester City are still perceived to be Liverpool’s biggest threat in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola’s men second favourites to lift the trophy at a best price of 6/1, despite throwing away a three-goal lead against Feyenoord in their most recent European outing. Arsenal are next in the betting to be crowned European champions at best odds of 7/1, while Barcelona and Real Madrid complete the top five in the market at best odds of 7/1 apiece.

Update: 06.11.24
Manchester City were on the receiving end of a Champions League thrashing by Sporting Lisbon last night but Pep Guardiola’s men remain favourites to win the competition for the second time in three seasons.
Excellent impression
Outgoing Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim made an excellent impression on Manchester United fans when his side inflicted upon Man City a third straight defeat across competitions with a 4-1 victory in the Champions League. Coming hot on the heels of 2-1 defeats to Tottenham Hotspur (Carabao Cup) and AFC Bournemouth (Premier League), the loss in the Portuguese capital was the first for City in this season’s Champions League and Guardiola’s men are now down to sixth in the table.
Phil Foden
Phil Foden fired City into the lead within the opening five minutes and in fairness, the hosts could have gone into the break some three goals in arrears, however they pulled one back through Viktor Gyokeres who added two more in the second half with another coming from Araujo.
Favourites for trophy
Despite this setback, Manchester City remain favourites to win the Champions League for a second time, some bookmakers going a best price of 4/1 (lowest odds 3/1) that the trophy returns to the Etihad Stadium. On the back of last night’s win, Sporting are now second in the Champions League table after four rounds of fixtures, the Portuguese side a best price of 50/1 to lift the trophy.
Elsewhere in the betting, Real Madrid are a 5/1 shot to claim another European title while Barcelona, Liverpool and Arsenal complete the top five in the betting at best odds of 7/1, 15/2 and 9/1 respectively.

Update: 25.10.24
Manchester City failed to successfully defend their Champions League trophy in 2023/24 but Pep Guardiola’s men are favourites to become European champions for a second time at the end of the current campaign.
Ultimate prize
Manchester City were dumped out of last season’s Champions League at the quarter-final stage following an aggregate defeat to subsequent tournament winners Real Madrid, however Pep Guardiola will once again have his eye on the ultimate prize this season and bookmakers have his men priced as big favourites to do just that.
Favourites
City have only been crowned European champions once before – in 2022/23 when they edged past Inter Milan to the tune of 1-0 – and they have thus far impressed in the current edition with their most recent outing ending in a 5-0 thrashing of Sparta Prague on Wednesday evening. In the new format competition, City sit in third position in the table behind Premier League rivals Liverpool and Aston Villa who occupy the top two places, the bookies going a best price of 10/3 on Guarduola’s side in the outright market.
Solid start
Premier League rivals Arsenal have also enjoyed a solid start to their European campaign with a goal-less draw away to Atalanta followed by a 2-0 win at home to Paris Saint-Germain and most recently a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. The Gunners sit in ninth position in the table after three rounds of fixtures and they are a best price of 8/1 to add the trophy to their cabinet this term, behind second favourites and defending champions Real Madrid at 4/1.
Other contenders
Elsewhere, Liverpool are a 9/1 punt to get their hands on this piece of silverware alongside Barcelona at the same price, the Reds beating AC Milan 3-1 at the San Siro in their tournament opener and following this up with subsequent wins over Bologna (2-0) and RB Leipzig (0-1). The big surprise in the tournament thus far have been Aston Villa who find themselves in pole position in the Champions League table with wins-to-nil against BSC Young Boys (0-3), Bayern Munich (1-0) and Bologna (2-0), the bookies going a best price of 33/1 on the West Midlands side taking the trophy.

Update: 12.06.23
Manchester City edged past Inter Milan in a pulsating and evenly-fought Champions League Final last weekend and on the back of their victory, Pep Guardiola’s men have been installed as firm favourites to successfully defend their trophy in 2023/24.
Before the dust has settled
The light blue half of Manchester will still be celebrating their hard-fought victory over Inter Milan at the weekend but before the dust has even settled, the leading UK bookmakers have installed the Citizens as firm favourites to claim the trophy in twelve months’ time.
Top contender
Pap Guardiola will be going all-out to ensure that his side are very much one of the leading contenders for the European crown in 2024. There may be a few questions to answer during the summer with regard to the future of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva as well as the health of Kevin De Bruyne following his hamstring injury, however even with these issues, Man City remain the top contender for the trophy.
Huge head start
Erling Haaland himself gives the side a huge head start that other sides simply don’t possess and with 52 goals to his name in 2022/23, he will be going all out to equal or even better this in 2023/24. With a Champions League trophy now in the bag, the pressure will be eased on Man City and this will only make things easier for them.
Miles ahead
As City fans continue their celebrations, the leading bookmakers go just 2/1 that they repeat this feat in twelve months’ time and this leaves them miles ahead of their main competitors in the betting. Bayern Munich are as high as 7/1 for the European title while PSG are priced as high as 10/1. Real Madrid and Barcelona complete the top five in the betting at 12/1 apiece while Manchester United are a 16/1 shot.
06.04.21
The 2020/21 Champions League campaign is now almost at an end with just four teams left in the competition. We’ve certainly had plenty of thrills and spills along the way but now we’re in for some serious battles as the finish line draws ever closer.
Manchester City – 11/8
Manchester City added yet more silverware to their trophy cabinet yesterday when they brushed aside Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley, this being their fourth straight trophy in this competition. Pep Guardiola’s men are also just a whisker away from clinching the Premier League title and the bookies have them pencilled in as firm favourites to become European champions for the first time ever this term, most firms going just 11/8 that this proves to be the case.
Paris Saint Germain – 5/1
Paris Saint Germain reached the final of the Champions League last season but they failed in their bid to become European champions for the first time in their history following defeat to Bayern Munich. It may come as something of a surprise to many in learning that the biggest club in France have never before won the top club tournament on the continent, however the signs are that the French champions will soon have it in the bag. It remains to be seen whether they manage it this season but they are certainly giving its a good go, the bookies making PSG second favourites to get their hands on the trophy.
Real Madrid – 7/2
Real Madrid are the kings of this competition, the Spanish giants having won it more times – by far – than any other club. It’s fair to say that Real haven’t been at their best of late although they are still very much in the hunt for the Spanish title given that they sit just two points adrift of arch-rivals Atletico Madrid at the summit of La Liga. Having deposed of Liverpool to the tune of 3-1 on aggregate in the last round of the competition, most bookies go 7/2 that Real add to their many European titles by going all the way this season.
Chelsea – 9/2
Chelsea have only once before won the Champions League and that was over a decade ago, therefore they will have their sights fixed firmly on doubling this tally in 2020/21. The Blues have been enjoying some excellent form on both the domestic front and in European competition this season and the bookies go a general 9/2 that the West Londoners become European champions for the second time in their illustrious history.
