Rodrygo made him a millionaire! Punter bets on Real to win against City 15 seconds before Brazilian hero’s first goal

The Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Manchester City was a celebration of world football. Ithad a special flavour for one brave punter who made a killing thanks to two goals in stoppage time that turned the tide for young Brazilian Rodrygo.

Every punter dreams of a spectacular win when betting. Some people like to bet on “certainty”, others bet in the spirit of the saying “risk is profit”. The latter is definitely the case for a lucky US bettor who got rich on the Champions League semi-final rematch between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Perhaps few White Ballet fans believed in the miracle of turning around an unfavorable result as the final whistle approached for Wednesday’s Real Madrid match. When Riyad Mahrez shot past Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 73rd minute, Real Madrid’s vision of a dream LM final at the Parc des Princes was miles away.

Real’s players did not even create any significant pressure in the following minutes, and so the chances of a turnaround were rapidly diminishing. However, the bookmakers’ odds on the coveted remake were flying upwards.

This was exploited by one brave tipster who believed in the magical Santiago Bernabéu until the final whistle. He bet on the overseas platform Caesars Sport just 15 seconds before Real’s equalising goal, with an exchange rate of around 23,000 CZK, waiting for a footballing miracle.

After Rodrygo turned the tide of the match with two goals in a single minute, he made this punter happier than any of the Merengues enthusiasts. At odds of 45, he won over a million Czech crowns.

Since he had bet on the Madrid giant to win in clean time, he didn’t even need to wait for the Spanish team to win extra time. The news of the lucky bettor went around the world and went viral, especially in the USA.
