Man City Odds-On to Make the UCL Semis
Man City have foreman the 2020 Champions League odds since the end of last season and nothing’s happened in the meantime to change this, including them getting a ticklish round-of-1 6 draw in the form of the mighty Real Madrid.
As things stand, City are odds-on for a home in the semifinal( -1 10) and precisely +175 for a situate in the final; astounding quirkies for a unit that has never been close to earning this competition and is currently sitting third in their own domestic league.
Pep Guardiola has just stood his most difficult spell at the City helm and arguably the stickiest incantation in his managerial career- the Citizens are 14 items adrift of table-topping Liverpool- but perversely this lack of opportunity to make it three names in a row may help in their quest for Champ League glory.
City’s Time?
City’s proprietor, Sheikh Mansour, has constructed no secret of the fact he’d like a Champions League crown to show for his mammoth asset, so this does definitely sounds like a pivotal moment for Guardiola, who must now concentrate his resources of the biggest prize. Against Real, who themselves are relative foreigners at +800 for a home in the final, City have the advantage of having the second leg at home, but attain no mistake, this will be a huge hurdle for Guardiola’s men.

Real, despite their abnormally generous curious, remain whales of European soccer and are currently joint-top of La Liga with Barcelona. The ethic here is unquestionably with the Spanish giants.
Reds With Eyes on the EPL Prize
Liverpool’s berth is, in many ways, the opposite of City’s, in that they have the most recent Champions League tucked away in the award board but haven’t won the English Premier League title since 1990- a long wait for a sorority of different sizes and prestige. Jurgen Klopp will still be looking to retain the UCL but there is a huge expectation on Merseyside that they must end their domestic drought. He may find himself prioritizing the EPL over the UCL.
The Reds also have a tough-looking round-of-1 6 bind to negotiate against Atletico Madrid but with the additional advantage of playing at Anfield in the second leg. I’m not persuasion, however, given the above, they have the desire to make it two finals in a row and there is no value in even-money for them to make the semifinals.
Barca Looking to Give Messi Another Gong
Barca are still bruised from last year’s startling semifinal depart at the sides of Liverpool, when they blew a 3-0 cause from the first leg at the Camp Nou, and will be desperate to give the genius Lionel Messi one final UCL title to add to his glittering array of silverware. They have to overcome a round-of-1 6 knot against Napoli in order to progress, with the second leg in Barcelona, and will certainly fancy their chances, having regard to the travails of the Naples club so far this season.
Of the big-hearted three, for me, the significance is with Barca’s +250 to build the final.
City’s shortcoming of opportunity to make it three deeds in a row may eventually help in their quest for Champ League glory
Best of the Rest
Outside of City, Liverpool and Barca, there is a case to be made for each of PSG, Bayern Munich and Juventus getting to the semifinals and beyond. PSG, in particular, have had Man City levels of investment gushed into the club with a view to claiming European soccer’s biggest prize, and look better-equipped than ever to get to at least the semifinals this season.
With Mbappe and Neymar both among the goals, PSG will be more than a match for any of the big names in this competition and are genuine competitors. A round-of-1 6 clash with Borussia Dortmund, with the second-leg in Paris, offers them a winnable street to the last eight.
PSG have, if countries around the world align, enough to go all the way this season
My pick: Real Madrid to qualify for the final (+ 800)
