They are among the 32 teams dreaming of reaching next year’s showpiece at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham represent the Premier League while Celtic and Rangers fly the flag for Scotland.
We’ve taken a look at Paddy Power’s UEFA Champions League Outright Winner 2022/23 odds to pick out the likely winners. You can see the latest prices on our super snazzy widgets below.
It’s the major trophy that continues to elude Manchester City but Pep Guardiola’s all-star team head the betting ahead of their latest crack at the Champions League. The addition of part-man, part-machine Erling Haaland has added an extra dimension to their attack and an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign has consolidated hopes of a successful campaign at home and in Europe. They meet Copenhagen, Dortmund and Sevilla in Group G.
The continent’s premier club competition could well be heading to different Middle Eastern backers as Qatar-owned Paris Saint–Germain are next in our betting. Despite the addition of Lionel Messi to their ranks last summer, the Parisians once again fell short in the Champions League which saw Mauricio Pochettino replaced in the dugout by Christophe Galtier for this campaign. Benfica, Juventus and Maccabi Haifa are their opponents in Group H.
Jurgen Klopp has transformed Liverpool into one of the most feared teams on the block with success in the 2019 Champions League being one of his crowning achievements, but the Reds have endured a challenging start to the new Premier League season with dropped points and injuries. They are in Group A with Ajax, Napoli and Rangers.
Bayern Munich crashed out in the quarter-finals last term and lost their main marksman, Robert Lewandowski, to Barcelona in the summer. Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt were their big summer additions as Julian Nagelsmann bids to leave the Bavarians to their seventh European title. They have been drawn in Group C with Barcelona, Inter Milan and Plzen.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Tottenham and Chelsea are also prominent in Paddy’s Outright Winner 2022/23 odds. You can check out our range of Champions League betting markets including the Top Goalscorer 2022/23 – headed by a certain Erling Haaland – on paddypower.com.
