There was somewhat more action in the week’s second night of Champions League football than the first – but exactly how much could you have won?

Spurs blow it – Olympiakos vs Tottenham
If Tottenham are to reach a 2nd consecutive Champions League final, then it looks like they may have to do it in the same cack-handed manner seen last season.

The London club got off to a dream start, leading 2-0 in Greece within half an hour of kick off thanks to a penalty from Harry Kane and a follow up from Lucas Moura minutes later. However, Castelo Podence brought Olympiakos back into the game just before the break, with the hosts then capitalising on that lifeline not too long into the 2nd half as Mathieu Valbuena converted his own penalty.

That pair of spot kicks meant that the Penalty SMMs make-up reached 134 against the opening price of 23-28, i.e. 106 times your initial stake. Anyone that suspected Kane may not be able to add to his account, and sold at his post-penalty SMM price of 82-90, could have also made 56 times their original bet. As for the result itself, with Spurs at 2-0 the Match to be drawn spread had fallen to 6.6-10.6; the hosts’ comeback, then, would have netted you 89.4 times your opening stake.


City bounce back from Norwich slip up – Shakhtar Donetsk vs Man City
It’s hard to find an angle to talk about City’s 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Even when factoring in last weekend’s shock loss at Norwich, Wednesday’s result seemed like a forgone conclusion.

However, given that Pep Guardiola’s side haven’t exactly been flawless at the back, they started the game at a relatively low Clean Sheet binary spread of 40-47.7. That means Shakhtar’s inability to break through could have won you 52.3 times your initial stake.


Di Maria piles pressure on Zidane – PSG vs Real Madrid
Since re-joining Real Madrid at the end of last season, Zinedane Zindane has a win ratio that sits the wrong side of 50%. A 3-0 loss in Paris, then, was the last thing the Frenchman needed.

Angel di Maria was instrumental in his former club’s demise. An early brace gave PSG a 2-0 lead from the 33rd minute, and left the Argentine with a SMM make-up of 80. Lop off a 27-32 starting spread, and that’s 48 times your original stake.
