Best Champions League outright winner odds

A closer look at the contenders

PSG

Unsurprisingly, PSG are the favourites to defend their crown this season at odds of 9/2. It would have been very difficult for the bookies to have priced any team shorter than PSG, after they romped to the title last season by beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.

Chelsea did show that they aren't an unbeatable force in the Club World Cup final, though, so they are by no means guaranteed to go back-to-back this season.

Liverpool

Liverpool are considered to be joint second-favourites to win the Champions League this season, and if they do, then it would be their seventh European Cup/Champions League triumph. The Reds won the Premier League comfortably last season and have added world-class talent to their ranks over the summer.

Florian Wirtz will add more creativity to their midfield, while Hugo Ekitike should help to ease the goalscoring burden on Mo Salah.

Barcelona

Barcelona are the same price as Liverpool to win the Champions League this season. If they do manage to go all the way, then it will be their first triumph since Lionel Messi left the club and their sixth title overall.

The Catalans will feel that they should have been the team to take on PSG in last year's final, but came up short in a thrilling semi-final with Inter Milan. Defensively, there are still question marks, but going forward, they are one of the most exciting teams around with and the addition of Marcus Rashford is only going to make them stronger in that regard.

Arsenal

At 15/2, Arsenal are priced slightly longer than Barcelona and Liverpool in the Champions League stakes this season. The Gunners gave PSG a run for their money in the semi-finals last season, but ultimately came up short due to a lack of cutting edge up front.

The hope in North London is that the addition of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon will help in this regard, but the Swede will first need to prove that he can perform consistently against elite competition

Real Madrid

Also priced at 15/2 are Real Madrid, the 15-time winners of the competition. It's all change at the Bernabeu this season with Xabi Alonso at the helm, and there is a sense that the players may need a bit of time to find their rhythm under the Spaniard.

Still, we should know by now that you simply can't rule Real Madrid out in this competition, paritculalry when they have the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr at the top of the pitch.
