Leading Online Sportsbook Posts Odds On The Arsenal vs. Barcelona, Paris Showdown


WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (May 8, 2006)?Although the 2006 FIFA World Cup is little more than a month away, soccer fans around the world have the end of season European club championships on tap to satisfy their football needs. With the showcase finales set to take place in the next two weeks, PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com expects unparalleled interest in the May 17th Champions League Final between Arsenal and Barcelona in Paris. Led by two-time reigning FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho and explosive Cameroon striker Samuel Eto?o, Barca dominated La Liga this season and are currently a -185 favorite (i.e., win $1 for every $1.85 bet) to capture European Club Football?s greatest prize.

Despite a relatively poor season in the Premiership, Arsenal set a Champions League record of 10 consecutive clean sheets to reach their first Champions League final behind scoring sensation Thierry Henry and midfield playmaker Cesc Fabregas. Although PinnacleSports.com lists the Gunners as +169 underdogs, Arsenal will hope to emulate Liverpool?s Champions League run last season in what could be Henry?s final game for the club. The French World Cup winner was allegedly spotted house shopping in Barcelona earlier this year, creating speculation that Barca will sign Henry before next season and adding yet another story line to this historic match-up of two of Europe?s biggest clubs.

Before the highly anticipated Champions League Final, Sevilla will travel to Eindhoven to play Middlesbrough in the final on May 10th. PinnacleSports.com currently lists Sevilla as a -147 favorite to win the UEFA Cup Final against Boro, who despite two remarkable comebacks, are a +137 underdog to win their first final in the club?s 130-year history.
