UEFA Champions League Football Betting Odds
When it comes to global club competitions, the UEFA Champion’s League stands tall above the rest. Made up of the very best sides from across Europe (Real Madrid , Liverpool, Barcelona, PSG, Manchester City , Bayern Munich, Juventus and many more) for many of the true giants of the game, it is the lifting of this famous trophy which is the ultimate goal.
Formerly known as the European Champion Clubs’ Cup, the competition was introduced under a straight knockout format back in 1955, before then being rebranded as the Champion’s League in 1992. The re-titling of the competition coincided with the introduction of a group phase prior to the knockout stages – which proved to be a hugely popular innovation with both clubs and fans alike.
Unsurprisingly the prospect of seeing many of the best sides in the world lock horns has proven to be irresistible to football fans around the globe – including from a betting perspective, with the match odds (pre-match and in-play) for the latest fixtures being amongst the most eagerly anticipated around, such as Full Time Result , Goal lines, Half-Time/Minutes/Specials bets, Asian lines and many more.

Who has won the most Champions League Titles?
Looking back at the history of the competition since the inaugural edition back in 1955 – a total of 64 renewals in all – we see that the trophy has been claimed by a total of 22 different clubs, hailing from ten separate nations.
Unsurprisingly it is the big four European footballing powerhouses of Spain, England, Italy and Germany who have fared best of all, with 50 of the 64 editions up to 2019 falling to a club from one of those four countries.
Topping the list with 18 wins are the Spanish sides, headed of course by the most famous Champion’s League side of them all – Real Madrid. Before, during and after the “Los Galacticos” era, Real have regularly made their presence felt at Europe’s top table, and it is they who sit way out in front in the all-time list.

For those who prefer to bet on a game by game basis, the pre-match options regularly run into the hundreds, with a huge variety of markets surrounding goals, goal-scorers, match result, handicap betting, match stats and more – many of which are also available in-play once the game kicks off.
Who are the Top 5 Champions League All-time Scorers?

The above statement is certainly backed up by the list of the top five scorers in the competition’s history.
The question of “who is better, Messi or Ronaldo?” is one of the most debated amongst fans around the globe, but whichever camp you fall into, it is hard to dispute the fact that they are both amongst the greatest players to ever lace up a pair of boots. Whilst there are a number of records in which Lionel Messi holds the edge, when it comes to the Champion’s League, it is Cristiano Ronaldo who is out in front.

How to Bet on Champions League?
Betting on the Champion’s League can be a little trickier than punting on the domestic competitions, as it does come with the additional requirement of attempting to weight up the value of form from different leagues. As we have seen in our previous winners’ section though, there are certain nations who historically do well in the competition – a factor certainly worth bearing in mind when selecting those bets.
Other than that stipulation, the factors you may want to consider will be in line with any other football match i.e. what is the situation in terms of injuries and suspensions? What are the motivations of the sides? And, is a particular side especially strong at home, or weak away? Having decided on your selections, the next step is to select a bookmaker – from the many available – with whom to place your bets.

What are the Serie A Title Winner Odds?
The champion’s from the major European Leagues i.e. Spain, England, Germany and Italy are always likely to feature prominently in the Champion’s League winner betting market – and with good reason too. In 23 of the 24 editions of the competition between 1995/96 and 2018/19 Europe’s biggest prize was claimed by a side from one of those four nations. Porto of Portugal being the only side to upset that trend when winning it all in 2003/04. So, who do the odds suggest will be lifting the famous trophy this time around?
Odds for Champions League Top Scorer?
Often one of the more unpredictable of the Ante-post betting markets, that hasn’t really been the case in the Champion’s League in recent times.

The one slight exception to that came in 2014/15 when the honour was shared by Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar. Messi and Ronaldo can’t go on for ever though, and there’s always the chance that a new star may burst onto the scene.
