Barcelona remain Champions League favourites

Consecutive final appearances will provide Diego Simone’s team the experience to potentially go all the way, and you can’t really argue with them being as short as 8/1 to win the tournament.
English teams had mixed group campaigns and only Arsenal would inspire anyone to have confidence n the overall winner to come from the Premier League.
