UEFA Champions League Winner Odds

What Is in It for the Winner?

The Champions League remains one of the most prestigious tournaments in the football world, frequently used as a yardstick to determine how big a club is. Powerhouses such as Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are yet to lift the trophy, while Man City succeeded for the first time in 2022/23 after many years of desperately trying.

In other words, despite the recent talks of a new 'Super League' for top European clubs, the Champions League remains the undisputed frontrunner when it comes to prestige and honour. Not to mention that the winner gets a huge chunk of money for taking it all home, which cannot be said for its little brother the Europa League.

Since all the participating teams - and especially the players - know the meaning of the trophy, it makes for an exciting knockout stage and there are bound to be some surprises this year as well.
