Champions League: Joeboy Loses N3 Million Bet as Arsenal Stun Real Madrid
Nigerian singer Joeboy suffered a major betting loss on Tuesday night after Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash.
The music star had placed a N3 million wager backing the Spanish giants to win at the Emirates Stadium, sharing a screenshot of his bet slip on social media just hours before the match. “Cashing out on Arsenal tears tonight!” he wrote confidently.
Had the outcome gone in Madrid’s favour, Joeboy stood to win over N10 million. But the Gunners had other plans.
Midfielder Declan Rice delivered two stunning free-kicks to give Arsenal a commanding lead, while Mikel Merino capped off the performance with a third goal, putting Mikel Arteta’s men firmly in control ahead of the return leg.
In the aftermath of the unexpected result, Joeboy offered no post-match analysis – only a single tweet that read, “Goodnight.”
Arsenal will hope to maintain their advantage when they visit the Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg next Wednesday. Meanwhile, they face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend as the season intensifies.
