How The Markets Reacted To Champions League Draw

The Champions League draw has thrown up more then a few tasty looking ties for the neutrals and also caused a bit of a shockwave in the Champions League winners markets too.

This was how the market looked BEFORE the draw was made.

This was the draw itself…

And this was the markets afterwards…

With Real Madrid facing a difficult match against Man Utd (and vice versa) both teams have drifted in the markets. Even Barcelona drifted after being paired with AC Milan although that is a tie you feel the Catalans will make it through unscathed.

After drawing Celtic, Juventus have gone in from 15.5 into 12.5 and that price looks pretty good for a back to lay at this stage.  Apologies to Celtic fans but I feel Juventus will be too strong over 2 legs and that price should crash further if they make it through and with the inevitable exit of either Man Utd or Real Madrid.  If another shock can happen in that round then even better!

With such a strong defense, you have to see Juventus as a strong dark horse for this competition.

Roll on February, I definitely can not wait to see Real Madrid and Man Utd go head to head!
