Every club team in Europe wants to win the UEFA Champions League, but only a handful of the elite of European football can do it. Make football bets with bwin all year round.

The ticket to the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League is in the budget, but you need something extra to get to the end of the competition. At this stage of competitiveness, the smaller teams like Sporting or Salzburg have no chance to lift the cup with the big ears.

Of course, being the best in your country is vitally important, but becoming European champions is the ultimate goal. Bet on all sports and football at our online sports betting site.

The real competition starts in February

Once the group stage is over, the real competition between the best teams starts in February for the Round of 16, with the first leg and second leg knockout matches. At this point in the competition, only the best teams triumph.

There has been a major change this season with the abolishment of the away goal rule by UEFA. If both teams are tied after 180 minutes of play, the match will go into extra-time over 30 minutes before a possible penalty shootout.

Recommended bets in Champions League

Three teams have a perfect record so far (Bayern, Liverpool and Ajax) with six wins in as many games. They are teams to watch closely as they also have the three best goal differences. Being first in their groups, they have benefited from a favourable draw, and therefore, we recommend betting on further success.

In terms of goals scored, an average of 4.67 goals per game has been averaged by Pep Guardiola's team. Thus, a recommended bet is to bet on the goal games for Manchester City, especially against Sporting CP.

Several teams, such as Benfica, Chelsea, Real Madrid or Juventus, have sturdy defences and have managed 4 group games without conceding a goal. For these teams, tight matches are expected.

Bet on the Champions League 2021/22

The 2021/22 Champions League promises to be another exciting tournament.

The draw for the Round of 16 has just taken place, and the stage is set for a fascinating Champions League. The final will take place at the Krestovsky Stadium in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Chelsea became European champions in the last edition. It is worth noting that the winner of the Champions League participates in the Club World Cup and faces the winner of the Europa League to determine the champion of champions. Bet now on the UEFA Supercup.

Ultimately, this is a cup competition, so even the best team in Europe doesn't always win it. Teams like Manchester City and PSG have invested at a loss and failed for the last decade to win the most beautiful club football competition in their history.
