Bookmakers Name Barca As Champions League Favourites After Draw

The Champions League group stage draw took place in Monaco.

Updated odds on the winner of this season's Champions League have been published by 888sport.com, following yesterday's (August 26th) draw.

The group stage was decided in Monaco last night, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea finding out their first-round opponents.

Barcelona remain the favourites to triumph in the competition at odds of 5/2, with Spanish rivals Real Madrid next in the market at 9/2 and United and Chelsea close behind.

Spurs, playing in the Champions League for the first time, drew Inter Milan, Werder Bremen and FC Twente and can be backed at 40/1.

Meanwhile, the other British clubs in the tournament, Arsenal and Rangers, are priced with odds of 14/1 and 300/1 respectively.

Online gambling fans who cannot wait until the final at Wembley in May to collect their winnings could instead bet on this weekend's Premier League action, with West Ham travelling to Old Trafford and Chelsea entertaining Stoke.
