Frustration for Cristiano Ronaldo - and punters
Frustration for Cristiano Ronaldo - and punters

Real Betis stun Real Madrid and save bookmakers hefty payout


Real Betis were the scourge of punters on Wednesday night after their shock win at Real Madrid spared bookmakers a hefty payout.

With all five favourites obliging inside 90 minutes in the night's Carabao Cup action, plenty of money was rolling on to Madrid in LaLiga.

But Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid return ended in frustration after a shock 1-0 home defeat.

The Portugal superstar was making his long-awaited comeback after completing a five-match ban for shoving a referee against Barcelona last month.

But he and his Real team-mates, looking to recover from an unconvincing start to the season, could not find a way past a stubborn Betis outfit.

And in injury time Antonio Sanabria stunned the Bernabeu with the winner to condemn Real to their first league defeat of the season.
