With the UEFA Champions League knockout phase in full swing, it’s time to assess the latest UCL winner odds and lock in your updated predictions for 2023.
As it stands, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the bookies’ favorites to go all the way, but there are still 16 teams in contention to lift the trophy in Istanbul on June 10th.
Top Contenders to Win UCL 2023
Manchester City (+187)
Manchester City reached the 2021 Champions League final before falling in the semifinals last season, but the English champions are still searching for their first European triumph.
Although Man City is not firing on all cylinders this term, Erling Haaland has the potential to fire his side to glory. Haaland has scored 32 goals in 31 games since arriving at the Etihad Stadium and the lethal striker is a big reason why City is favored to win the UCL this year.
Bayern Munich (+350)
Having claimed an important 1-0 victory in the first leg of their last-16 showdown against Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich already has one foot in the quarterfinals.
Like Man City, the German champions have not been at their best this season, but they still have more than enough firepower to secure the Champions League silverware in 2023.
Real Madrid (+1000)
Real Madrid has won five of the previous nine Champions League crowns, securing four titles in five years between 2014 and 2018 before returning to the summit of European soccer last season.
Boasting an unrivalled 14 European Cup/Champions League titles – seven more than their nearest rivals – the Spanish giants invariably find a way to reach the latter stages of the tournament, making their odds of +1000 look seriously attractive.
Champions League Sleepers for 2023
Napoli (+1100)
Having opened up a 15-point lead at the summit of the Serie A table, Napoli looks destined to taste domestic success this year. With Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leading the way, the Italian side could go deep into the Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain (+2000)
Although PSG trails Bayern after the first leg of their last-16 clash, the French powerhouse will still be confident of advancing. With the deadly trio of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar in their ranks, the Parisians have got what it takes to go all the way.
Who Will Win the Champions League in 2023?
Best Bet: Real Madrid (+1000)
With the top two favorites – Manchester City and Bayern Munich – priced between +187 and +350, Real Madrid looks like the best bet at this stage. Since the reigning champions have won five of the last nine UCL titles, odds of +1000 seem too good to miss.
Stalwarts like Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Luka Modrid have guided Real Madrid to unrivalled success over the past decade, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they led their side to another Champions League triumph this year.
