Arsenal Now Second Favourites For Champions League

Last updated: 13/03/2008 16:38

Arsenal are now 7/2 second favourites with William Hill to win the Champions League following their victory over previous second favourites Juventus.

 

Before the match, Arsenal were 11/1 to win the trophy.

 

William Hill now make Barcelona 13/8 favourites for the competition and also offer 7/2 Arsenal; 5/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 15/2 Lyon; 16/1 Juventus; 18/1 Villareal; 22/1 Benfica.

 

Arsenal are 1/8 to eliminate Juventus, who are 9/2 to come back and win the tie.

 

Arsenal produced a scintillating performance to take a commanding lead after the home leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Juventus.

 

Cesc Fabregas put Arsenal ahead with a low strike from 20 yards and later passed for Thierry Henry to convert into an empty net from 12 yards out.

 

Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon made good second-half saves from Henry, Fabregas and Alexander Hleb.

 

Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina were both sent off late in the match.

 

Juventus might be eight points ahead at the top of Serie A but they were a ragged mess by the end of the match.

 

They had heavy legs and bowed heads after being blown away by an Arsenal side that played with great verve and invention.

 

Arsenal's clean sheet means they have now gone seven matches without conceding in the Champions League - equaling the record set by AC Milan last season.
