Soccer Betting Lines

05/27/2010 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich rising star Diego Contento has signed a new two-year contract extension to tie him to the club until the summer of 2013.

The 20-year-old defender became a regular member of coach Louis van Gaal's plans this season, helping Bayern to a league and cup double, before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League.

Contento, a product of the club's youth system, played in both legs of Bayern's European semifinal win over Lyon, but was an unused substitute against Inter.

He also sat out the 4-0 Pokal Cup final win over Werder Bremen, but featured in a 1-0 victory against Schalke in the semifinals.
