Bookies make holders Real favourites

Real Madrid are 10-3 with bookmaker Coral to defend the Champions League trophy they won back in May following the draw for the group stages of the 2014/15 competition. Chelsea are the shortest price of the English teams at 7-1, while Liverpool are 28-1 to go all the way in their return to the group stages.

“The betting suggests it was a good draw for Arsenal and Chelsea as they are both favourites to win their groups, while Manchester City have work to do as Bayern Munich are odds-on to come out on top in their group,” said Coral’s John Hill
