Champions League winner odds: Manchester City now even-money favourites after Bayern Munich win

The Citizens are leading contenders to win the Champions League title for the first time in their history after a stunning 3-0 thumping of Bayern Munich in their first leg.
The 2020-21 runners up are on course to go one better and are now as short as even-money with Betfair to do so.
Erling Haaland’s introduction last summer was viewed as the missing piece and he was on target at the Etihad as Bayern were put to the sword.
Barring an almighty collapse, they will line up in the last four and are very much the side to beat.
Napoli are viewed as their closest competition and are 4/1 second favourites with Betfair to win the competition.
They go into the first leg with Milan without leading marksman Victor Osimhen through injury again but he’s reportedly set to be OK for the return.

At 17/1, Milan will be hoping to capitalise on that first home advantage, particularly after thrashing the Serie A leaders 4-0 on their own patch less than a fortnight ago.
Current holders Real Madrid (6/1) can’t be written off as they go into their first leg battle with Frank Lampard’s Chelsea (14/1) tonight.
Inter Milan split that pair in the betting at 15/2 after a good 2-0 win away to Benfica in their first leg.
The Portuguese side are the outsiders now at 40/1 – just behind Munich who have it all to do at 35/1.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Odds on Man City to win the Champions League have been slashed to Evens from 2/1 since their 3-0 quarter-final first leg victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
“The Citizens, who are aiming to win their first Champions League trophy, are followed by Napoli at 4/1. Real Madrid host Chelsea tonight and are 6/1 to go all the way in the competition, with the Blues 14/1 outsiders.”
