United are the 7/5 favourites to win on Sunday, while Chelsea are offered at 19/10. The draw is 23/10. All eyes will be on the two sides’ big strikers and Hills are offering markets on what both Torres and Rooney will do first.

You Bet Someone Loves Jose

Real big bet on Madrid………
YOU BET SOMEONE LOVES JOSE

A WILLIAM HILL online client has staked £20,000 on Real Madrid over-turning Barcelona’s two goal lead from the first leg of their Champions League semi final and knocking them out. The client took odds of 16/1 which would give him a profit of £320,000 if the bet is successful. Hills have now cut Real’s odds of going through from 16/1 to 14/1 but make Barcelona red hot favourites to reach the final at odds of 1/50. ‘This is a bold wager, which may look an inspired gamble if Jose can live up to his ‘Special One’ nickname and somehow plot the downfall of bitter rivals Barca’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

FOLLOWING the controversial scenes at the first leg of the Bareclona- Real Madrid Champions League semi, William Hill are betting on how many players Real will end up with on the pitch and offer 2/5 all eleven; 9/4 just ten; 5/1 nine or fewer.

William Hill make Jose Mourinho odds-on still to be Real Madrid boss on the first day of next season, despite his outspoken remarks after the defeat to Barcelona. ‘Most Real – and probably Chelsea and Inter – fans will empathise with Mourinho’s comments, controversial though they are. He is shrewd enough to know that, and as well as removing responsibility for defeat from himself he is also keeping the fans onside for a further stint with Real, in case those same comments may not have gone down well with potential future employers’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

16/1 BARCA TO DOMINATE FOR THREE SEASONS?

WILLIAM HILL offer 16/1 that Barcelona will not only go on to win this season’s Champions League – but also retain the trophy in 2011/12 and win it again in 2012/13 to complete a hat trick of victories. ‘Barca are looking virtually unbeatable at the moment and they could dominate the competition for the next few season’s’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Barca are now 4/9 favourites to win the trophy at Wembley, with Man U offered at 7/4 and Schalke 100/1.
HILLS WON £20,000 FROM AN ONLINE CLIENT WHO STAKED THAT AMOUNT ON A REAL COMEBACK VICTORY TO ELIMINATE BARCA. ‘Had Madrid scored their goal when the game was goalless then an upset may have been a possibility, but it never really looked viable’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…..Champions League Outright
Barcelona…4/9
Man Utd…..7/4
Schalke……100/1

**Barcelona to win 2 consecutive Champions Leagues from 2011…5/1
