How much could football spread betting fans have won from an absolutely insane weekend of Champions League and Europa League action? It’s time for the Daily Sports Spread Betting Roundup!

What is the highest scoring Champions League game of all-time?
Conjuring memories of 2014’s World Cup semi-final, Bayern Munich handed Barcelona a potentially era-ending defeat on Friday night, hammering the Spaniards 8-2.

A dream for spread betters, it is hard to know where to begin. Starting with something simple, buy a Bayern Munich/Barcelona Goal Supremacy spread of 0.4-0.6, and that’s 5.4 times your initial stake.

Back a Total Goals spread of 3.45-3.65, meanwhile, and you won 6.35 times your opening bet. For those looking for something more exciting, buying a Total Goal Minutes spread of 174-189 and a makeup of 467 gave you 278 times your original wager.

In terms of individual achievements, Thomas Muller’s 1st half brace meant buying a SMM spread of 16-20 won you 46 times your opening stake from a makeup of 66.

Better, Phillipe Coutinho’s late double – remember, he is a player neither team wants – created a SMM makeup of 263 against a substitute SMM spread of 5-8. That’s 255 times your original stake.

As for the main man himself, Robert Lewandowski, his 14th Champions League goal of the season in the 82nd minute meant buying the Polish ace at a Headed PGM spread of 9-12 gave you 70 times your starting wager.

Best of all? With 8 goals, 15 corners and 8 yellow cards, the Goals x Corners x Bookings market came in at a nice and round 9000. Buy at 1500-1650, and you walked away with 7350 times your initial bet.

So, was Barcelona v Bayern Munich the highest scoring Champions League game of all-time? No. That honour goes to Borussia Dortmund’s 8-4 win over Legia Warszawa in 2016, followed by Monaco’s 8-3 thumping of Deportivo La Coruna in 2003.

Will Pep Guardiola leave Man City?
On paper, this was the easiest to call Champions League semi-final. Instead, Man City lost 3-1 to Lyon, in only the French side’s 4th European victory in 2019/20.

Sell a massive Man City/Lyon Goal Supremacy spread of 1.85-2.05, and that’s 3.85 times your initial stake.

Meanwhile, buy game-winner – and former Fulham and Celtic forward – Moussa Dembele at a substitute SMM of 4-7, and his late brace gave you 246 times your opening bet from a makeup of 253.

It remains to be seen whether time is running out for Guardiola given his European failings at City.

Who is favourite to win the Champions League?
Sorry Lyon, you may have beaten Juventus and Man City, but it looks like you are heading into the stuff of nightmares when you face Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

What are the odds on Bayern Munich winning the Champions League? They are now clear favourites, odds on at 8/15 with an Outright Index spread of 85-88. That compares to PSG at 11/4 and 72-75.

How many times have Sevilla reached a Europa League final?
The Europa League seems baked into Sevilla’s DNA. Beating Man United 2-1, the Spanish side are heading into a record 6th UEFA Cup/Europa League final. And, worryingly for Inter or Shakhtar, that’s a game they’ve never lost.

Things started in pretty typical fashion for United, as Bruno Fernandes converted their 22nd penalty of the season in the 9th minute. You actually needed to sell a Penalty Goal Minutes spread of 13-16 to make 4 times your original stake. Ditto, selling a Bruno Fernandes PGM of 11-14 saw you earn a 2 times multiplier.

However, Fernandez Saez equalised in the 26th minute, before Luuk de Jong got the winner in the 78th minute, ending Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s hopes of silverware this season.
