Punter scoops over £4k from £5 as Betfair share ‘crazy’ Champions League bet
A Betfair punter is waking up over £4,000 richer after a plucky in-play punt on last night’s Champions League games.
The bettor placed £5 on a six-fold, 18 minutes into the first-half of the 8pm games.

They needed at least three goals from the first half of the Manchester City game against Copenhagen.
An Erling Haaland double and own goal from Davit Khocholava ensured City went into the break with a three-goal lead.
With the game goalless, the punter needed at least two first half goals in Benfica’s game with PSG and was again helped out by an OG – with Danilo scoring in the wrong net after Lionel Messi’s opener.
At least three goals before the interval was needed in Madrid, as Real’s two-goal lead was reduced to one six minutes before half time.
That ensured the punt had a chance going into the second period, with the other three selections needed across 90 minutes.
First it was over 2.5 goals required at Stamford Bridge, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James’ second half goals adding to Wesley Fofana’s opener.

At least four goals from Juventus’ game with Maccabi Haifa was next and the visitors got back into the game at 2-1 on 75 minutes before Juve scored the fourth of the game on 83 minutes.
They therefore just needed Borussia Dortmund to win with both teams scoring at Sevilla.
Dortmund had a three-goal lead at half time before a Sevilla goal just into the start of the second 45 minutes.
Not only did they hold on but Julian Brandt added a fourth with 15 minutes left to make sure the lucky punter was counting their cash early.
