The stage is set for the second leg of the Champions League Quarterfinals. As things currently stand Manchester City remains the favorite to win the Champions League given +180 odds at FanDuel. Bettors don't agree with the oddsmakers though as Real Madrid has been the most bet of the eight remaining squads over the last week.
Led by the flying Frenchman Karim Benzema, Real Madrid dominated the reigning Champions Chelsea on their home ground. Now they return back home with a 3-1 lead on aggregate and bettors are all over Real Madrid to lift the trophy. Chelsea travels to the Spanish capital for Tuesday's clash at the Bernabeu Stadium, where Real Madrid has won seven of their last nine European matches and are strong favorites to end Chelsea's Champions League defense.

Champions League Betting
Despite being priced fourth on the odds grid to lift the trophy, Real Madrid has the most bettors' attention with 27% of bets. The next closest over the last week has been the favorites Manchester City. The top team in the English Premier League has been the favorites to win the Champions League since their defeat a year ago to Chelsea in the final. Manchester City has received 18% of bets over the last seven days.
As things stand, oddsmakers favor Manchester City and Liverpool to both reach the final. They are both priced at -165 odds or an implied 62.3% chance. These two squads put on a show this past weekend in their Premier League battle as they finished with a 2-2 draw. A Champions League final between Liverpool and Manchester City would give us another exciting show.

The value lies with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich though. It will be nearly impossible for Chelsea to advance past Real Madrid so they will need to get by the current favorites Manchester City to reach the final. If they accomplish this feat they will have proven they can top anyone in Europe and it won't matter who they face in the finals.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich finds themselves down 1-0 on aggregate to Villarreal the reigning Europa League champions. The German giants return home and they are surely angry and seek revenge. Bayern is desperate for a Champions League trophy and I expect them to advance to the semifinals in convincing fashion. This outcome will likely set them up with a battle with Liverpool. I like Bayern Munich's chances at their current price of +500.
