Champions League Betting: Liverpool 7/1 to defend their European crown after win over Tottenham

Liverpool were crowned champions of Europe for a sixth time courtesy of a 2-0 win over Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah converted from the penalty spot after Moussa Sissoko was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the area before Divock Origi sealed victory with a late strike in Madrid.

The Belgian striker scored from all three of his shots in the competition, having netted a double in the remarkable comeback against Barcelona in the semi-final second leg.

bet365 have priced Jurgen Klopp's men as 7/1 (8.0) chances to record back-to-back European victories, putting the Reds third in the Champions League betting for next season.

Having just completed a domestic treble, Manchester City head the market at 5/1 (6.0) to add a Champions League win to their trophy cabinet in the 2019-20 campaign.

While City have leading claims based on their performances under Pep Guardiola, punters could be well served by waiting for the outcome of the ongoing Uefa investigation into the club's financial conduct which could lead to a ban from this competition.

Barcelona are second favourites at 6/1 (7.0) although the future of Ernesto Valverde appears uncertain after their dramatic capitulation at Anfield, coupled with a shock defeat to Valencia in the Copa del Rey final.

Having won three of the last four editions of this competition and back under the stewardship of Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid are 8/1 (9.0) to win a 14th European title next season. Los Blancos look likely to add Eden Hazard to their ranks this summer and will be targeting a return to the latter stages of this competition after an uncharacteristically poor campaign.

Paris Saint-Germain (9/1) and Juventus (10/1) have both spent big in pursuit of a Champions League crown in recent years but both largely failed to impress in the last couple of editions.

Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are available at 12/1 (13.0) although the latter appear especially short given the number of key players that Diego Simeone is likely to be without after the current transfer window closes, including Antoine Griezmann.

Tottenham are 16/1 (17.0) to go one better than their runners up finish in Madrid ahead of Borussia Dortmund (20/1), Napoli (25/1) and Europa League winners Chelsea (33/1).
