Odds to win the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League

The long road to Istanbul starts Tuesday, as the UEFA Champions League is back after a short break.

And when we say long, we mean it: the 2019-20 Round-of-16 began in February, and then was not completed until early August, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This season is starting late, because the last tournament did not end until August 23, when Bayern Munich won its sixth title with a 1-0 win over PSG. 

This Tuesday and Wednesday, Match Day 1 will take place with 16 games (eight each day), with Match Day 2 and 3 coming in the following weeks. After a break for international duty, Match Days 4-6 will take place once again in three straight weeks, from November 24-25 to December 8-9.

Bayern Munich is the current favorite to repeat, but Manchester City is also near the top of the odds, trying to win its first title.
