| 2225: Manchester United have drifted to 8/1 for the Champions League after they lost to Besiktas tonight.
Rodrigo Tello's deflected effort in the first half was enough to seperate the teams and the Turks were good value for their win against a laboured United second string.
Top spot isn't a given for United, a defeat worse than 2-1 against Wolfsburg in the final round would see the Germans take the position.
Bet365 and Ladbrokes reacted by pushing United out to 8s and the latter's spokesman David Williams said: "The Besiktas win was the ultimate acca buster. It was just what the bookies ordered."
Chelsea were cut to 7/2 joint-favourites with Barcelona with a variety of layers after they confirmed top spot in Group D after a solid 1-0 win away at Porto.
Group C remains tight after Real Madrid beat FC Zurich 1-0 and AC Milan and Marseille drew 1-1.
Madrid top the group and are 7/1 to go all the way with Victor Chandler and they will assure qualification if they avoid a worse than 3-0 defeat in Marseille.
Milan are 25/1 following Wednesday's games.
Bordeaux assured top spot in Group A after they beat Juventus 2-0 and they are into as short as 22/1 with Stan James.
Juventus and Bayern Munich go into the last round fighting for the other qualification place and the Italians are now 33/1 for the trophy with the Germans 80/1.
