AS expected Barcelona cruised into the Champions League Final last night – so will be treated to an all-Spanish final for the second year running.
Last season Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid and they're hoping to complete an El Clasico line-up in Berlin by overturning a 2-1 deficit to Juventus.
Juve did well to win in Turin but 2-1 is unlikely to be good enough. Bookies make the holders favourites to go through and I agree. The Spaniards are a biggest 4-5 with Ladbrokes and bet365.
Juve are 11-10 at BetVictor and William Hill and it's interesting to note fewer than half (47 per cent) the sides who have won the first leg of a Champions League KO tie 2-1 at home have progressed.
On top of that Juve have only won two of their last 20 trips to Spain and recently lost at Torino and Parma in Serie A.
So I'm on Real to triumph on the night at 7-10 with BetVictor and after that the question is will they go through on the away goal, after extra time or simply by winning by at least two goals.
It should be Real minus one at 9-5 with McBookie if Cristiano Ronaldo has a say. He netted his ninth goal of the campaign in Turin and has hit four in three meetings against Juve.
His anytime scorer price is too good to ignore at 11-12 with 888sport and he is 10-3 at Ladbrokes and Coral to break the deadlock.
Last week's match in Turin was a pretty open affair and there should be plenty of goals in the return, especially if either side strike early.
Over 2.5 goals looks likely at 5-6 with BetVictor while both to score – which would leave Real needing at least three to go through – pays 17-20 at Ladbrokes.

Real Madrid win in extra time @ 22/1
I text ma pal that bet tae Nclsn, it’s a toss up for me betwee that Kroos anytime 7/1 for free bet as can’t see a draw plus getting pissed aff wi coming close last 3 games
All over Real Madrid O2.5 Team Goals at 3.25 for the free 50.
Be raring for the win with Barca in the final, Juve are inevitably going to concede and once they do I think things are going to gradually collapse for them needing the away goals. I know Pogba’s back but ever since Juve went through I thought they’d stand their ground at home but come out of the Allianz, Bernabeu or Nou Camp on the end of a spanking, nothing changed there for me.
Anyone know if TG are limited to the 90 minute market?
Connorr, yes it’s just goals scored in 90 minutes.
I’m really stuck on what to use my free bet on, Real have let me down a few times this season but a CL final against Barca is pretty much all they’ve got left to play for so you’d expect them to go for it.
2-2 for me 16/1 at bet365
Hi, what’s this 50 free bet ? Thanks
got to lump money on ronaldo anytime at 10/11
Bet Real Madrid on Paddy Power to earn £10 (£5 times 2) freebets
1.66 @ £136 returns £225.76 – £136 (stake) – £50 (Draw) = £39.76 Profit.
Bet Draw on Bet365 (pre start)
4.2 @ £50 (stake) returns £210 – £136 (RM) – £50 (Draw) = £24 profit
Bet Draw on PPower (inplay) … Will drop in price if no goal in first 5 minutes … so
£10 (both Freebets) @ 4.0 = £30 profit
Bet Juventus on Bet365 (inplay)
5.5 @ £50 (stake) returns £275 – £136 (RM) – £50 (Draw) – £50 (stake not returned) = £39 profit
So either £39.76 if RM win … £54 the draw or £39 if Juve win.
If the odds on Juve inplay drop to 5.0 say then that lops £25 profit off …. so bet only one £5 FBet on the draw and one £5 FBet on Juve … using PPower = revised £39.76 (RM) , £39 (Draw) , £34 (Juve).
Was thinking this earlier can’t see y not
365 offer
Juventus qualify
365 offer
Real Madrid qualify pre match 4-5
Juventus qualify 11-10 inplay maybe better
Surely there’s profit here or am I wrong
Both teams to score yes (bet365) – £25 returns £45 + refund= 70- £20 profit
Both teams to score no (skybet) 25 returns £52.50 + refund= £77.50- 27.50 profit
Then you have your free in-play bet to use, if it loses, it is refunded. If it wins, more profit. ☺️☺️☺️
Juventus will just defend with just Tevez up front.Real Madrid will have too much firepower and win 3-1 or 4-1.
Darran, like your simple plan which should return
R.M +£40
Juve +£5
Can anyone confirm this DOESN’T break any of gambling or bet rules????
Anyone else have any ideas they are doing
Both teams to score surely
I always do either team to win before kick off !! Draw in play !! Done this for years never had a problem !!
62.50 either to win before kick off !!plus in play back 50 12.50 profit !! 50 in play bet 210 back so 110 profit !! Hope this helps guys :) just the way I do it :) last night sure someone did bayern over 2.5mg and in play neymar to score 2 or more !! Loads of money :)
Sorry that was 50 in play on draw for 210 :)
decent returns for a likely madrid in, but you will need 250 spare.
Place £50 pre match draw = 210 – 50 – 150 = (£10 PROFIT)
Place £50 juve inplay = 275– 150 – 50 – 50 = (£25 PROFIT)
Place 150 on Madrid WIN at Paddy Power = 250 – 150 – 50 (£50 PROFIT) **
** Place the two £5 free paddy bets on some first goal scorer bets for more potential profit
Newbie, it was the `to qualify’ element i was questioning, as there is only 2 outcomes, where as win- draw – win has 3
Sorry kp just saying what I do :) good luck whichever way you go mate :)
Thanks lads looking forward to what should be a good game
Of course lots of profit as well
