What I believe is the same -- we are as good as City, and can match them any day, 1 win and 2 draws in the last meeting does underline how close it is, but the odds on all past 3 games have always put City as the favourite, even if barely so (about 2/1 as opposed to Liverpool 3/1 or more).
So it doesn't matter what I or you believe, the odds prove where the money is, even if I'm sure Liverpool has the bigger fanbase, the money's on City.
I wouldn't be shocked at a Madrid vs Villareal final neither and would literally give 50-50% on that too, I agree with that but still... Real would win that one to be fair, I mean yes it is just one game but do you really think that Madrid would lose that? So, all we have to do is base our bets on what looks like a better possibility even if you think it's equals on paper.
I would be disappointed if it’s not City vs Liverpool or Real Madrid vs Liverpool in the finals, because I don’t expect Villarreal to win or give a tough fight therefore I’m hoping for one of the above scenario. Furthermore Liverpool and City are equals and it’s an easy choice to wager on them, and let’s also hope that Steve will give us boosted odds for the return fixtures.
