Manchester City won its first title last year and are listed as heavy favorites to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>repeat. But standing in the way, the 14-time champions, Real Madrid. And if City gets through,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>it won\u2019t get any easier as they\u2019ll face either Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the semifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manchester City +180<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester City has cruised into the quarters after winning all 6 group stage games and then 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>more against Copenhagen in the Round of 16. City is currently on a 10-match winning streak<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and haven\u2019t lost at home in 30 consecutive matches. They also hammered Real Madrid 5-1 on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>aggregate, in last year\u2019s semifinals. They are talented and should have enough to dispose of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madrid again, before having to face another European power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arsenal (+525)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>England\u2019s other entries in the Elite-8 are currently battling City for the Premiership title. But the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>two sides could meet in the semi\u2019s if they advance. Arsenal needed penalties to get by Porto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>guaranteeing its first trip to the quarters since 2009-2010, and remember, they\u2019ve never won the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Champions League trophy. The closest came in 2006 when they lost in the final to Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting by Bayern would set up an epic English showdown, assuming City wins, in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>semifinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bayern Munich (+750)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a disappointing run in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is looking for redemption in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Champions League play. After a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the Round of 16, Bayern stormed back with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a convincing 3-0 win at home powered by Harry Kane\u2019s two goal performance. He did suffer a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>recent ankle injury but will be fit for the April 9 trip to London against Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Longshot Value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paris Saint-Germain (+800)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In what will be Kylian Mbappe\u2019s swan song, PSG faces Barcelona in the first leg in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSG sits atop Ligue 1 and was fairly average in group play going 2-2-2 and only advancing on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>goal differential. But they came alive in the Round of 16 with two wins against Real Sociedad,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>advancing on 4-1 aggregate. If Mbappe wants to leave his mark in Paris, he could try to do it all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and bring Paris Saint-Germain its first ever Champions title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quarter-Final Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Arsenal Bayern Munich April 9 April 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Real Madrid Manchester City April 9 April 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 Atl\u00e9tico Madrid Borussia Dortmund April 10 April 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 Paris Saint-Germain Barcelona April 10 April 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Semi-Finals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winner of 1 vs Winner of 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winner of 3 vs Winner of 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to Win 2023\/24 UEFA Champions League<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man City +180<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal +525<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Madrid +650<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bayern Munich +750<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSG +800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona +1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atletico Madrid +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Borussia Dortmund +2200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/soccer\/uefa-cl\/uefa-champions-league\">Champions League odds visit BetOnline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greatest club football competition is down to the quarter-finals and features 8 of Europe\u2019s best squads.
