Real Madrid narrow favs to beat Juventus in Champions League final

Published:

Real Madrid are the 4/5 outright favourites to win this season’s UEFA Champions League and become the first back-to-back winners of the competition in its modern guise.

Los Blancos secured a 4-2 aggregate success over city rivals Atletico Madrid last night with Isco’s crucial away goal ensuring a comfortable passage after Real had trailed by two early goals at the Vicente Calderon.

Juventus stand in the way of Zinedine Zidane’s men with the Italian outfit 11/10 to win the Champions League outright.

In the match betting, Real are 19/10 to win in normal time in Cardiff, with Juve the marginal outsiders at 7/5 to avenge their 1998 final defeat to Madrid.

Meanwhile, the draw in 90 minutes is a 23/10 shot.

It’s perhaps no surprise to see our traders struggling to split the 2016-17 finalists given their respective strengths.

Max Allegri’s Serie A giants managed to restrict a Monaco side that had previously scored 149 goals in all competitions this season to just the one over two legs.

Before that, the Old Lady held off Barcelona for 180 minutes and it’ll be fascinating to see whether they can now repel the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and co.
