In what was yet another Champions League shock, Manchester United overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Paris Saint Germain away from home, overthrowing a side who'd previously only lost one game on home soil since the end of July.
As with all of these surprise results, it's had a massive impact on the odds. This mostly revolves around how Manchester United have gone from 125/1 to 10/1 to win the Champions League, but it's also been beneficial to those brave enough to back against the obvious on the hunt for significant profit.
The best example of this came from an unnamed punter on social media, who sent us a Bet365 Bet Builder, where he landed a whopping 1,500/1 bet with a lot that needed to happen in order for it to be classed as a winner.
It's fair to say that each selection in the Bet Builder looked difficult to land, so it's surprising that the entire bet ended up resulting in the punter's favour, making for one of the most impressive winning bets we've ever seen.
How the Bet365 Bet Builder played out on Wednesday evening
By choosing to predict that under ten corners would occur in Paris Saint Germain v Manchester United, the bet was already likely to possess suitably appetising odds. It ended up that PSG only secured a measly four corners, with Man Utd going without a single corner over the entire fixture.
Any chance of Man Utd winning both the first half and the second half were effectively dead in the water, but it resulted in this punter's favour. It says a lot that the most likely selection was Romelu Lukaku to score anytime, as his Manchester United career could be in danger after a poor first season at the club, but four goals in the previous two games prompted another two against PSG.
If you were to name a player that would get booked against Manchester United, any of Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, or Marco Verratti would be the most obvious options, but adding in a yellow card for Angel Di Maria added value without ruining any chance of landing the bet in its entirety.
All bets of this nature come with enough drama to ruin the temperament of the person who backed it. This bet did exactly that, going down to the very last minute, as the predicted 3-1 result for Manchester United was decided in the final second, Marcus Rashford putting away the penalty that won the bet, and leaving no time for a response from the onlooking Parisians.
Drama in Paris as Manchester United defied the odds
It would be an immensely tense time for this punter as they awaited not only the penalty to be scored by Marcus Rashford, but also whether or not the referee decided to award a spot-kick after reviewing VAR.
The goal eventually saw Manchester United qualify and it took the game to a 3-1 away win for The Red Devils, completing the final two parts of the bettor's six selections in the Bet Builder.
