Betting and odds for the Champions League

Of course, the Champions League is always the biggest football event during the season, and therefore matches are viral for sports betting.

The table of scorers of the Champions League is a bit boring because the truth is that in recent years we almost always see the same names. Specifically two: Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) and Lionel Messi.
