Punter turns 20p into over £1,000 with sensational Champions League bet – from just TWO games

A football punter was celebrating an early Christmas gift after landing an incredible Champions League bet on Tuesday night.

The genius bettor staked just 20p on a 16-leg, Multi-Match Bet Builder with Paddy Power and managed to scoop themselves a stunning £1,173.39.

Incredibly still, it came from just TWO of the 8pm kick-offs in Europe's elite competition.

The games in question were Leipzig vs Aston Villa and Atalanta vs Real Madrid, with the two away sides claiming crucial 3-2 victories.

And they more than made use of Paddy Power's 'Super Sub' promotion in Villa's game to keep their bet alive.

Picking both teams to score in Germany and over 2.5 goals both seemed like bankers and they were celebrating an early John McGinn goal, having picked him to score or assist.

Emiliano Martinez made the 3+ saves needed, while opposite number Peter Gulacsi hit the 4+ required.

Then this is where Super Sub came in perfectly.

Jhon Duran came off the bench at half time to replace Ollie Watkins and his stunning goal from range helped complete the Watkins 2+ shots on target leg.

While Ross Barkley replaced Youri Tielemans and his late goal helped hit the shot on target shout for the Belgian.
