City to qualify 4.8/4.9 !

four teams trying to turn it around from 3 down

5.8	Sporting			Bodo/Glimt		1.20
11.5	Chelsea			PSG		1.09
5	Manchester City			Real Madrid		1.24
21	Tottenham			Atletico Madrid		1.04

21 is tempting...

We don't need CL at this time. Would be just as happy to put it behind us rather than add more games to our rota.

Arsenal a shorter price to qualify than Real and Bodo with 3 goal leads

The difference between Liverpool and City is that there wasn't a perceived gap in quality between the two teams going into the Liverpool tie, the market here is ignoring the first leg and assuming the perceived gap between these two teams will show itself tonight.

yeah, Arsenal price seems crazy after the way first leg went. Would rather back Bodo or Real for sure.

1.16	Arsenal			Leverkusen		7.2
1.30	Barcelona			Newcastle		4.4
1.44	Liverpool			Galatasaray		3.25

We don't need CL at this time. Would be just as happy to put it behind us rather than add more games to our rota.

I suspect the dynamic duo would be willing to put a proper shift in here...

The away goals rule was also in and Barca were expected to score at least 1

Salah and Firmino were also ruled out thru injury days before the 2nd leg

yes youre right lurka re injuries. and barca with messi and suarez were expected to score so the away goals rule needed to be facrored in. all the same, this city team certainly isnt firing on all cylinders and i still think their odds are woefully short. i expect madrid to qualify comfortably with a 3 goal start.

From memory I think Barca were matched at 1.02 or even 1.01 in the first leg as Dembele had a 1-on-1 with Alisson and fluffed it straight into his hands with the last kick of the game. Liverpool were going all out for an away goal and got hit on the break.

Guehi & Semenyo dropped

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has been troubled by leaks across both legs of the Champions League tie against Paris St‑Germain.

Before the first leg, the 41‑year‑old saw his entire starting XI published in the French media. Today, his decision to leave out Wesley Fofana and start Jorrel Hato was also revealed ahead of time.

Can't see Rosenior being there in August

He's truly awful. Why did they appoint him? He reminds me of David Brent/Conor Benn

Will from the Inbetweeners

HStikkytokky too

glorified caretaker

There might have been some prepared to give Rossignor a chance, but any support he had will have gone with the latest "Brentism". "Respect the ball." What on Earth did he think would be the reaction to that? There might be a role for him in womens' football, where some of them like to hear shyte like that.

yes des its all the height of cringe everything that comes out of his mouth. worst part of it is you would think he was doing something so important. youre a football manager ffs it really does not matter but he speaks like he's addressing the un security council. embarrassing

Valverde!

Chelsea 0-1

Chelsea 0-2

Arsenal will go through, Liverpool maybe. The rest are going out.

Peno

5-0 Sporting

and a red.

Pen all day long

Chances coming thick & fast for RM & City

I didnt understand the price of Real Madrid pre match and now I do not get it.

Have they shown the offside graphic yet?

I was on RM +0.5

Didn't think City stood a cat in hell's chance of not being hit on the counter

1-0 Arsenal,  Eze spectacular

City 1-1 Haaland

2-0 Arsenal,  Rice

Chelsea 0-3

Chelsea and City played like clowns in the 1st leg. A lot to be said for the Arsenal approach of keeping it tight away and doing the job at home, even losing by 1 away first leg isn't a bad result. Certainly for City but not Chelsea.

Pep with his tendency to try to out-tactic the opponent like he used to do in his earlier City days maybe. Should have changed tac after the first goal in the first leg.

But PSG 8 goals in 2 legs from a total xG of 1.99, they have to be favs. It was the same last year v Arsenal, unbelievable finishing.

Arteta can give Eddie a ring.

So has anyone seen the graphics for the offside - I presume they are somewhere but just looking at the replay and he looks off - and I can't remember when they haven't shown them?

Newcastle are 5.4 to win in 90 minutes, on Spanish exchange,
so the prices in op look better value than that.
