A bettor pocketed the jackpot thanks to a completely crazy combination, which was losing until the 89th minute of the Newcastle-PSG match. But the action that led to Swiss defender Fabian Schär’s goal changed everything.
Unlikely, but very (very) profitable. If the last goal of the Swiss defender of Newcastle Fabian Schär ended up sinking a PSG already adrift (4-1) on the lawn of Saint James’ Park, further dampening the morale of the Parisian supporters, it also made rich a daring British punter.
L’éclair by Fabian Schär
As revealed by the account OddsBible, specializing in sports betting, the player had placed £10 (11.50 euros) on a very convoluted combined bet, quoted at 850/1. To win, improbable planets had to align: for Fabian Schär to make at least two tackles, for PSG to be flagged offside at least twice, for there to be at least eight corners in the match and that Lucas Hernandez, Dan Burn and Fabian Schär each score at least one shot.
Until the 89th minute, this crazy bet was lost, since Fabian Schär was missing a tackle and a goal. But that’s without counting on the Swiss international’s flash of genius in the 90th minute of the match. Recovering the ball with a precise tackle (✅) at the feet of Parisian striker Gonçalo Ramos, Schär relies on his teammate Jacob Murphy who gives him the ball about twenty meters from Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal. The Swiss then unleashed a magnificent shot which went straight towards the top corner (✅), completing the improbable work of this creative bettor.
A bet which, with a 25% boost, brought him £10,625 (12,280 euros). What history doesn’t say is what he would have won if, instead of predicting a shot on target from Fabian Schär, the mysterious punter had bet on a goal from the Swiss defender. Author of 10 goals – 11 now – since his arrival at Newcastle in 2018, the odds would, for sure, have been very (very) good.
