11-2 Juventus grab first-leg advantage

REAL MADRID remain favourites to qualify for the Champions League final despite losing 2-1 against Juventus in their semi-final first leg in Turin on Tuesday.

The reigning champions are 8-11 to progress and 11-4 to retain the trophy, while it's 11-10 with bet365, Coral and Hills that Juventus can hold in in next week’s return leg at the Bernabeu.

Juve are 11-2 with bet365 to lift the European Cup with Barcelona, who host Bayern Munich on Wednesday, heading the market.

Juventus had the perfect start when former Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata came back to haunt his former club with the opening goal but Cristiano Ronaldo soon levelled for the Spanish side.

However, a Carlos Tevez second-half penalty gave Juve the win much to the delight of punters who had backed Max Allegri’s side into favouritism having originally been quoted as outsiders to win the first leg.

Real Madrid are 8-13 with Coral to win the Bernabeu return, while Juve are 9-2 and the draw is 11-4.
