Shocks, surprises and the youngest Champions League goalscorer ever

A couple of high profile Champions League exits, and the youngest goalscorer in the competition’s history, feature in our Daily Spread Betting Roundup. But what could you’ve won?

Champs top Group E – Red Bull Salzburg v Liverpool
A 2-0 win in Austria was enough to see defending champions Liverpool top Group E, sending Red Bull Salzburg – one of the competition’s most entertaining sides – into the Europa League.

The real tragedy of Tuesday night’s game was that Erling Braut Haaland was unable to become the first player in history to score in each of their first 6 Champions League appearances. That means you’d have needed to sell a Haaland SMM spread of 43-50 to make 43 times your initial bet.

Milik hat-trick – Napoli v Genk
Genk ended an awful European campaign with another heavy loss, Napoli making up for their goalless draw in Belgium with a 4-0 victory in Italy.

Arkadiusz Milik was the star, securing a hat-trick by the 38th minute. Even though the Polish forward started the game at a huge SMM spread of 67-77, he finished with a make-up of 169, leaving you with 92 times your opening stake. That both his final goal, and Dries Mertens 75th minute closer, came from the spot also meant backing a Penalty SMMs spread of 24-29 would have won you 157 times your original bet.

Ajax sent to Europa League – Ajax v Valencia
Starting the night at the top of Group H, last season’s semi-finalists Ajax were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday following a 1-0 loss at home to Valencia.

It was an ill-tempered affair, with 5 yellows for the hosts, 3 for the Spaniards and an injury time red for Gabriel. That caused the Bookings make-up shoot to 105 against a feisty opening price of 54-58 – i.e. 47 times your initial stake. It also meant anyone buying a Cross Bookings spread of 760-880 ended up with 1870 times their original bet courtesy of a whopping make-up of 2750.

Inter out thanks to teenager Fati – Inter Milan v Barcelona
They might be top of Serie A, with a 2 point lead over Juventus, but unlike their Turin rivals, Inter Milan are now out of the Champions League. Carles Perez had give Barcelona the lead in the 23rd minute, only for Romelu Lukaku to draw things level just before the break.

The game remained deadlocked until Ansu Fati came off the bench and scored almost immediately. At a Goal Minutes spread of just 1-3, his 86th minute strike not only made the 17-year old the youngest scorer in the history of the Champions League, but gave savvy punters 83 times their initial stake.
