Manchester City now just 9/1 to win the Champions League after 3-1 win over Barcelona

MANCHESTER CITY are now just 9/1 to win this year's Champions League following their superb 3-1 win over Barcelona on Tuesday night.

A brace from Ilkay Gundogan and a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick fired City to victory after Lionel Messi had put the La Liga giants in front at the Ethiad.

And now, that drop in odds makes them by far the most likely English club to lift the famous trophy, having been 12/1 before last night's victory, according to Ladbrokes.

Failing that, it's just 9/2 that Pep Guardiola's men reach this season's final - held in Cardiff.

Punters fancying domestic and European domination from the Citizens can get odds of 16/1 on them winning the double.

Meanwhile 100/1 says they complete an historic Premier League-FA Cup-Champions League treble.

It's also 16/1 for City to lock horns with the Catalans again at any stage in this European campaign.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes News said: "Last night's victory against Barcelona has left City fans dreaming of Champions League glory, and our traders have been forced to act accordingly."

Guardiola's City currently sit second in Champions League Group C - behind only Barca.

The Premier League side have picked up seven points from their opening four games - with one loss at the hands of the Spaniards, as well as a thrilling 3-3 draw with Celtic following their Borussia Monchengladbach win.

They will next face the Bundesliga side on November 23, before rounding off the group stages against the Scottish Premiership outfit on December 6.
