Manchester City remain the bookmaker’s favourite to win the Champions League following a stunning comeback at home over RB Leipzig on Matchday 5.

Catch Them If You Can, Manchester City Are Poised To Become Back-To-Back Champions Of Europe

After falling 2-0 down at half-time at home to RB Leipzig, Champions League betting sites had the Sky Blues priced at 10/3 to turn the deficit around and continue their perfect start to the campaign.

In typical fashion, City did what they do best. Erling Haaland grabbed the first ten minutes after the restart before Phil Foden levelled it up with 20 minutes to play.

On the stroke of stoppage time, Julian Alvarez chipped in with his fourth of the competition so far to complete a remarkable comeback as Manchester City made it five wins from five.

Pep Guardiola‘s side are now confirmed as the top seed from Group G and can afford to let their hair down in the final group game away at Red Star Belgrade.

According to the best UK football betting sites, City are 2/1 to become back-to-back winners of the competition after winning their first European Cup earlier this year.

Bayern Munich Priced As Second-Favourites To Land Seventh Champions League Crown

Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich are second-favourites to win the competition, priced at 4/1. The German giants are cruising at the top of Group A and will enter the knockout stage as a top seed.

If you fancy Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are 13/2 to record a 15th triumph in the Champions League. Los Blancos are on the verge of securing top seed status in Group C and will do so if they earn a point vs Napoli on Wednesday.

Arsenal are next at 8/1 and despite the Gunners playing amongst Europe’s elite this season for the first time since 2016/17, Mikel Arteta’s side have already emerged as major players to lift the trophy at Wembley in June 2024.

Barcelona have shortened to 14/1 after beating Porto 2-1 on Tuesday night, which puts the Catalans in pole position to finish first in Group H – they’ll need a point away at Royal Antwerp for confirmation.

You can back PSG at 16/1, who have historically struggled in the later stages in Europe, but with Kylian Mbappe on board the Parisiens will fancy their chances of coming out on top in any encounter.
