After last year's semi-final between Inter and Barcelona, it felt like football fans would have to wait years to see a similarly unforgettable encounter
As it happened, it took just 12 months, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich playing out a UEFA Champions League classic, and the enrapturing 5-4 will live long in the memory.
The match will live even longer in the memory for a number of punters who were on the right side of a number of three-figure prices.
bet365's Steve Freeth said: "A UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg that was a spectacle worthy of the final, destined to be remembered by football fans and punters for years, with Bet Builders providing eye-watering payouts.
"As a football fan, I’d love more of the same in the return leg in Munich, However, from a bookmaker’s perspective, we’re nervous about what’s in store!"
"While semi-finals in any competition can be cagey affairs, Luis Enrique's side know only how to play one way, and for a team with an almost reckless desire to attack at any opportunity, goals were always on the cards. As you can imagine, there were several three-figure Bet Builders with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all on the scoresheet.
"There were a total of 160 pre-match bets on correct score 5-4 at a biggest price of 200/1, and one customer combined the correct score with Olise, Kane, Kvaratskhelia and Diaz in a 700/1 Bet Builder.
"The biggest price of the night however came from one punter who backed 3-2 half-time score and 5-4 full-time score in an 800/1 Bet Builder!"
