The Champions League is back, and the race to be crowned kings of Europe looks wide open.
Paris Saint-Germain are chasing an extraordinary third consecutive title, Arsenal are hoping to finally go one better after last season’s final heartbreak, while Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all among the leading contenders.
But who do the Bet9ja odds make the favourites to lift the trophy this season?
Here are the top 10 Champions League favourites, ranked by their current outright winner odds.
1. Barcelona – 6.00
Barcelona head into the new Champions League campaign as Bet9ja’s favourites at 6.00.
Hansi Flick’s side look capable of ending the club’s long wait for another European crown, having strengthened a hugely talented squad with the additions of Rodri and Anthony Gordon.
With Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Gordon providing the attacking threat and Rodri adding even more control to midfield, Barcelona have the quality to go all the way.
2. Paris Saint-Germain – 6.50
Can PSG make it three Champions League titles in a row?
Luis Enrique’s side have dominated Europe for the past two seasons and are priced at 6.50 to retain their crown once again.
Winning back-to-back Champions Leagues is already an incredible achievement. Doing it three times consecutively would put this PSG team into truly historic territory.
3=. Arsenal – 7.00
Arsenal came agonisingly close last season, losing the final to PSG on penalties.
Mikel Arteta’s side have responded by strengthening their squad further, with Bruno Guimarães, Ezri Konsa and Christos Tzolis among their additions.
Having already ended their long wait for another Premier League title, the Champions League remains the major trophy missing from Arsenal’s collection. At 7.00, Bet9ja has them firmly among the leading contenders to put that right.
3=. Bayern Munich – 7.00
Also available at 7.00 are six-time European champions Bayern Munich.
Bayern have not lifted the trophy since 2020, but their attacking options make them dangerous once again. Harry Kane remains one of Europe’s most prolific goalscorers, while Michael Olise and Lennart Karl give them plenty of additional firepower.
Could this finally be the season Kane gets his hands on the Champions League trophy?
5. Real Madrid – 7.50
You can never count out Real Madrid in this competition.
The 15-time European champions are priced at 7.50, with José Mourinho now tasked with delivering yet another Champions League crown to the Bernabéu.
Mourinho has already won the competition with Porto and Inter, and 16 years after his famous treble with the Italian giants, another European triumph with Madrid would add a remarkable chapter to his career.
6. Manchester City – 10.00
Manchester City sit slightly behind the leading pack at 10.00.
City have already started the new Premier League campaign perfectly, and their squad remains packed with enough quality to challenge any team in Europe.
Having tasted Champions League glory before, they will be determined to return to the summit this season.
7. Liverpool – 13.00
Liverpool are available at 13.00 to become European champions for a seventh time.
Their domestic campaign has not started as smoothly as they would have hoped, but a team with Liverpool’s European pedigree can never be dismissed.
At double-figure odds, they could prove an interesting option if they build momentum as the tournament progresses.
8. Manchester United – 21.00
Manchester United make their return to the Champions League this season and are 21.00 to mark it by lifting the trophy.
That price puts them some distance behind the leading favourites, but United have three European Cups to their name and will be hoping to make an impact on their return to the competition.
Their campaign begins with one of the most unusual fixtures of Matchday 1 as they host Sabah, a club only founded in 2017.
9. Inter – 26.00
Inter begin the competition at 26.00, despite coming into the season as reigning Serie A champions.
Cristian Chivu’s side have started their title defence with three wins from three, but recent Champions League campaigns have ended in disappointment.
Their first test could hardly be bigger, with Chivu returning to the Bernabéu to face former manager José Mourinho and Real Madrid.
10. Atlético Madrid – 34.00
Rounding out Bet9ja’s top 10 are Atlético Madrid at 34.00.
Atleti have reached three Champions League finals without ever lifting the trophy, making them one of the competition’s most successful clubs never to become European champions.
At considerably bigger odds than the leading contenders, they represent the outsider of Bet9ja’s current top 10.
