bet365 faces huge loss after Real Madrid’s win

The UK-based gaming company bet365 suffered its biggest season loss after Real Madrid’s dramatic comeback against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League.
With just minutes left, the Spanish giants were trailing 2-1 at the Etihad. Then, they scored twice in stoppage time, stunning the stadium and leaving the bookmaker facing a massive payout. Erling Haaland finally broke his scoring drought against Real Madrid with two goals, including a late penalty that looked like the winner for City.
Steve Freeth, bet365 Sports and Trading expert, said:
“Real Madrid was attractively priced at 13/5 pre-game, so we were sitting pretty at 2-1 with the visitors trading at 66/1, but the two late goals really hurt us.”
Los Blancos had other plans. Former City player Brahim Diaz equalized in the dying moments before Jude Bellingham’s stoppage-time strike snatched Real Madrid the win.
Steve Freeth added:
“Five goals, Haaland, Mbappe, and Bellingham all on the scoresheet, and a Real Madrid win means we’re very much licking our wounds this morning!”
The result sent shockwaves through the Champions League betting markets. Real Madrid’s odds to win the tournament shortened to 5/1, making them second favorites behind Liverpool. Meanwhile, City’s title defense suffered a major setback, with their odds drifting to 20/1.
Despite the losses, bet365 remains a key player in the industry. With its continued expansion into markets like Peru and the U.S., Bet365 is committed to success.
