Citizens are cut to reach European showpiece
MANCHESTER CITY are proving to be stubbornly competitive on the European stage and have shortened from 11-5 to 7-4 to reach the Champions League final after drawing 0-0 with Real Madrid at the Etihad on Tuesday.
Real, weakened by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who failed a late fitness test on a thigh injury, were the more attack-minded side but were held to their first goalless draw in 36 games.
They were pushed out from 2-5 to 4-9 to reach the final and are 4-6 to win next Wednesday's second leg at the Bernabeu.
Villarreal striker Roberto Soldado struggled against Premier League defences during his time at Tottenham and is 8-13 with bet365 to fail to score during the Europa League semi-final tie with Liverpool, which commences with the opening leg at El Madrigal on Thursday night.
The 30-year-old is 15-8 to score once over the two games, 9-1 to notch twice and 66-1 to bag three or more.
Mauricio Pochettino has spoken of his dream to become Paris St-Germain manager one day, sparking a flurry of interest in him making a switch to the French capital this summer.
Ladbrokes are betting on Pochettino's whereabouts next season and go 7-1 Manchester United and 8-1 PSG.
