A German man was minutes away from hitting the jackpot Tuesday until Leroy Sane’s goal to increase Manchester City’s advantage over AS Monaco cost him £29,000 (€34,000).

Before the goal, the punter was probably in disbelief as his audacious gamble began to materialise in the final minutes of Tuesday’s Champions League fixtures.

Mustafa Celik placed a bet predicting the correct scoreline in both matches, according to The Telegraph’s Callum Davis, with Atletico Madrid’s 4-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen giving him half a chance at winning the ultimate prize.

A go-ahead goal from John Stones to lift Manchester City into a 4-3 lead over AS Monaco put him on course to collect. However, disaster struck five minutes later when Sane got on the end of Sergio Aguero’s pass, sending City fans into a frenzy while ruining Celik’s day.

“You owe me €34,000,” Celik tweeted at Sane with a picture of his betting slip attached.

The Germany international offered a sympathetic message to his compatriot the following day:

Let’s just hope Celik didn’t place money on Claudio Bravo scarfing down a pie on the bench.

Hector Herrera’s pain threshold suggests he might be a good fit in the National Hockey League.

A horrifying photo of the Mexico international’s injured foot emerged after his side, FC Porto, fell to Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Herrera suffered the injury when Stephan Lichtsteiner’s studs came down on his foot during a clearance attempt in the 50th minute.

Amazingly, Herrera played through the injury for 40 minutes and lasted until the final whistle.
