Thanks to some big upsets and fantastic goals over the years, the Champions League has certainly cemented itself as a favourite amongst punters who enjoy the ups and downs of football.
One key moment in Champions League history is that of Liverpool’s comeback against Inter Milan to claim the trophy in 2003/04. Fans had already started leaving the stadium when Liverpool went 3-0 down by halftime, but the likes of Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Šmicer, and Xabi Alonso were able to save the day by forcing a dramatic penalty shootout win.
Fast forward to the 2023 competition, and Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool side facilitated another memorable moment with their 2-5 defeat to the ruthless Real Madrid. After Liverpool going 2-0 up within just 15 minutes during the round of 16 opener, Vinicius Junior kicked off the Madrid comeback with two goals, before Miltão and Benzema’s efforts ended the tie.
Other stand-out scenes from the 2023 season that left Champions League punters in a frenzy include Manchester City’s 7-0 win against Leipzig, during which Erling Haaland equalled the record of 5 goals in a CL game.
Matchday 4 courtesy of Barcelona and Inter Milan was certainly unforgettable too, which saw Xavi’s side on the brink of an early group-stage exit. Robert Lewadowski’s two late equalisers kept them in, followed by a final goal that stopped Inter from running off with the game.
With high-flyers Manchester City, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint Germain all in the running, 2024 certainly looks set to be another fantastic contest.
After beating Inter Milan in the 2023 Champions League Final, current trophy holders Manchester City remain favourites to win this year.
While English teams have so far been the biggest winners of the competition, with 6 from across the country claiming the victory, Spanish clubs are always key contenders, holding 19 titles between them. Real Madrid in particular is the most successful, with 14 victories currently under their belt.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team are second favourites to claim the 2024 title in Wembley, followed by Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich.
Although they look set to finish second behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, outside of the domestic league Bayern are enjoying the recent addition of England striker Harry Kane. Could this be enough for the German side to clinch the title?
Although these are the current front runners, with so many top-tier teams battling it out for the trophy, the tides can easily turn. Player form, injuries, and jam-packed domestic league schedules may also make a difference, so keep an eye on Unibet’s Champions League markets to stay on top of the latest action.
