The draw has firmed up the outright board. At the time of writing, bet365 price the contenders like this:
Five English sides in the first eight prices tells its own story about where the market thinks the power sits - our Champions League hub carries the data behind every one of them as the league phase unfolds.
The prices are one thing; the money is another. bet365's trading team say the record winners are the punters' pick. "Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United occupy four of the top eight spots in the betting market," said bet365's Steve Freeth. "However, our customers are favouring the competition's record winners, Real Madrid, back-to-back winners PSG, alongside European heavyweights Barcelona and Bayern Munich."
"Arsenal, last season's losing finalists, currently sit fifth with 8.5% of pre-draw business, while the remaining Premier League sides are attracting less than 2%." Those are bet365's own trading figures - the market's read on the market.
Two more markets worth knowing about at the time of writing. To reach the final: PSG 3/1, Arsenal and Barcelona 10/3, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid 7/2, Man City 9/2, Liverpool 5/1, Man United 9/1, Inter Milan 12/1, Atletico Madrid 16/1 and Aston Villa 18/1.
And on the nationality of the winner: England 6/4, Spain 2/1, France 4/1, Germany 5/1, Italy 10/1, any other nation 14/1. England favourite on the strength of five entrants; Spain second on the strength of two giants.
