Barcelona is second! The latest Champions League odds were announced, Real Madrid dropped to fourth, and Grand Paris seventh
Just now, the authoritative data agency announced the latest edition of the Champions League winner odds rankings. After the first leg of the quarter-finals was over, the rankings also changed. In first place is Manchester City, whose odds have been further reduced to 2.62. Objectively speaking, Manchester City is at the top at this stage, both in terms of strength on paper and in current competitive form. Plus they retreated 3-3 at Real Madrid's home stadium. When the main players return to the home stadium in the second leg, their advantage will only be greater.
In second place is Barcelona, and the odds of the La Liga giants have come to 7. Barcelona's main reason for being in this position is the excellent performance they played against Paris Saint-Germain. Playing away at the Parc des Princes, they won 3-2 and got the result they wanted for the red and blue. The probability of returning to the home stadium in the second leg is indeed very high. And considering that they are in a relatively weak half, as long as they cross the threshold of Grand Paris, it is very promising to go straight to the finals and even the championship.
In third place is Arsenal, who are also 7 odds. Although Arsenal only drew with Bayern Munich at home, Arsenal clearly had some advantages through the performance of this game. Authorities are still optimistic that Arsenal will beat Bayern Munich next and fight for the final title. Of course, Arteta's side can't afford to be careless. After all, the aggregate score is still flat, and although Bayern is in a low period, the second leg is a home game that may have some bonuses. For them, if they want to reach the last four, they have to fight again. In fourth place is Real Madrid at 8 with them. In fact, Real Madrid's odds to win the championship were still very high, but unfortunately they encountered Manchester City in the draw for the quarterfinals. This, coupled with the fact that the Bernabeu were not able to gain an advantage at home, put Real Madrid on the verge of being eliminated.
In fact, at this stage, Real Madrid has used all their resources. But even so, the strongest squad failed to beat the remnants of Manchester City, which was more uncomfortable. A drop in the rankings is also expected. In fifth place is Bayern Munich, who are also priced at 8. Bayern's decline in form this season has been very obvious, and they have lost their dominance in the league. The previous draw against Arsenal was regarded by the outside world as the end of this season's Champions League. However, the good news is that Bayern came out of the first leg at Arsenal's home stadium. There are still endless possibilities to return to the Allianz Arena with a score of 2:2. As long as Bayern's stars can perform to the fullest in Game 2, it is not impossible to advance to the last four.
In 6th place is Atletico Madrid at 11. With a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg, Atletico are getting closer to the last four of the Champions League. In fact, Atletico have been very good this season, especially in attack, and Simeone's tactical changes have made the team more fluid. The slight up-and-down performance is mainly due to the fact that the depth of the team's squad is a little worse than that of other top giants. For Atletico Madrid, reaching the last four of the Champions League this season is already a great success.
In seventh place is Paris Saint-Germain, who are 15 to win the title. Originally, the outside world thought that Grand Paris would easily defeat other opponents in this weaker half to advance to the final. But I didn't expect the match with Barcelona to give them a slap in the face, it turns out that Paris still lacks a lot at this stage, and it is also difficult to have a chance to go to Barcelona away in the second leg. In eighth place is Borussia Dortmund, who are 34 to win the title.
Borussia Dortmund have been able to move forward to this point, which is gratifying for the whole club. They are already in a transition period, and there are still many positions in the team that need to be strengthened. But even so, on both fronts in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, Dort got the results they wanted. I just don't know if they have the ability to reverse Atletico in the second leg?
