The most successful side in UEFA Champions League history is La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, which has won the tournament a record nine times. Real are heavy 2/9 favourites at Ladbrokes to capture Group B this season, which also includes Juventus, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
Real Madrid opened group play with the most impressive win of the new Champions League season. Real routed Galatasaray 6-1 on 17 September in Istanbul. Galatasaray fell apart after Isco made the breakthrough late in the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo finished with a hat trick, with Karim Benzema adding two goals. Iker Casillas had not started a competitive game for Madrid in 237 days but was in the starting XI for that match. He looked sharp early but eventually had to leave after taking an elbow in the ribs from teammate Sergio Ramos. Manager Carlo Ancelotti had said pregame that Casillas would play all six group games.
Meanwhile, record transfer Gareth Bale started the match on the bench, but entered midway through the second half and created one of Ronaldo’s goals. Madrid faces FC Copenhagen on 2 October in their next match. Real is 1/100 to qualify from the group stage and has reached the Champions League semifinals the past three seasons. They haven’t won the title since 2002. Madrid are 5/1 to add a 10th championship
Juventus are the 3/1 second favourites to win Group B. The Italian side opened with a 1-1 draw against Copenhagen. The visitors missed a succession of chances, especially after the break, as Copenhagen goalkeeper Johan Wiland was the star of the match. The Danes took the lead in the 14th minute on Nicolai Jorgensen’s 13th-minute goal, but Fabio Quagliarella levelled nine minutes into the second half. Juventus reached the quarterfinals of last season’s competition, knocked out by eventual champion Bayern Munich. Juventus are 1/9 to qualify from group stage. They host Galatasaray on 2 October. Juventus visit Real Madrid on 23 October. Juventus are 16/1 to win a third Champions League title.
Galatasaray (11/2) and Copenhagen (14/1) are long shots to qualify from the group.
