British betting sites see a 100% English final between Manchester City and Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain ranks fifth among the favorites.
To find out who is the favorite in the Champions League, don’t ask Jürgen Klopp. A few days ago, the Liverpool manager had admitted his preference for Juventus, a team which should fly over Serie A in his eyes. As it had seen in Italy as a pressure shot towards Maurizio Sarri, Klopp has back pedaled, making PSG the favorite of the C1. ” Now they are the ones who have the pressure “, launched the Reds coach, who invites to “Don’t take it too seriously” his statements.
The fact is that, in the eyes of bookmakers, Liverpool is nevertheless much better placed than Juve or PSG in the race for its own succession. According to the ratings of the various English operators, compiled by the Oddschecker site, it is Manchester City the No. 1 favorite. It was already the case last year at the same time, and the men of Pep Guardiola, who will bet everything on the C1 this season (this is their last chance to win it before three years), just ahead of Liverpool for bookmakers. Then follow FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG, in this order, but in a pocket handkerchief.
Juventus, despite Klopp’s opinion, only came in 6th place. Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane, triple winner in the recent past and Liga leader, is only 7th. It must be said that the Merengues will face Manchester City in what is probably the most beautiful poster of the round of 16. For the rest, it will probably be complicated for the rest of the field (Tottenham, Atlético de Madrid, Leipzig, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta, Valencia and Naples, in that order). Le Petit Poucet, for many, is Olympique Lyonnais, who will already have to create the feat against Juventus in the round of 16.
