Champion Result For A C And Punters

Punters celebrated as Liverpool fans were left to drown their sorrows after their Champions League defeat.

"Around £20million was gambled on the Champions League, and I should imagine that supporters of every other English club will be counting their profits - there was precious little sign of supporter solidarity with Liverpool as we were overwhelmed by backing for AC - there was a seven figure difference between what we would have won if Liverpool had done it and what we've lost because they didn't" said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. William Hill took six five figure bets of up to £20,000 each on an AC Milan victory.

Liverpool are now 2/5 to win nothing again next season with William Hill who make them 10/1 to win the Champions League and 33/1 to meet AC in the Final again.

Barcelona are 11/2 favourites to win next season's Champions League with William Hill who also offer 6/1 Chelsea; 7/1 Man U; 9/1 AC; Real Madrid; 10 Inter; Liverpool; 66 Celtic; 100 Rangers. An all-British Final is 6/1.

Chelsea are 9/4 to do best of the British sides in the Champions League next season with William Hill who also offer 5/2 Man U; 11/4 Liverpool; 9/2 Arsenal; 12 Celtic; 16 Rangers.
