UCL:
Real Madrid - Chelsea
Man City - Bayern

Benfica - Inter
Milan - Napoli

Three Italian teams in the bottom half of the draw. Napoli now with best odds of reaching the final, and second best odds of winning the whole thing (methinks oddsmakers are underestimating Benfica a bit). Top half of the draw with all the big guns.

Real should get past Chelsea but the reckoning will arrive in the semifinal. People love to go on about how "Real just know how to win in the CL" but in my view they have ridden incredible luck in that competition. Their triumphs in 2014, 2018, and 2022
were all flukish.

Benfica - Inter
Milan - Napoli

The draw is a godsend for Serie A. They are virtually guaranteed a team in the final.

I think Benfica should be favorites over Inter, even though you never know what ridiculous wave of luck the Immaculate Virgins will ride. Napoli is very good, they would have been a serious candidate for the final even with a different draw.

What luck.

538 highly bullish on City. Over the last two weeks, they've been
upgraded from 90.6 to 92.3. Meanwhile Bayern has been downgraded from
91.0 to 89.7 - games played in that period? 2-0 against PSG and 5-3
against Augsburg.

PSG has somehow gone up in the same time. I obviously don't understand
their model.
