Manchester City beat Monaco 5-3 at home in the first leg of the Champions League one-eighth final a few days ago. A punter missed out on the jackpot because of Sane's late goal, and former German goalkeeper Kahn was informed of the incident, and together with the winners and losers organization, he invited the fan to the venue to watch the second-leg match between Manchester City and Monaco.
After the match between Manchester City and Monaco, a betting slip was posted on social media platforms by a netizen named Mustafa Celik 并@萨内称其欠自己3.4万欧元. He pressed for a 2-4 Atletico Madrid scoreline in this bet, and he also predicted a 4-3 win for City over Monaco. It was Sane's 5th goal that prevented his bet from winning the jackpot and Sane responded to the netizen after the match and said he regretted his luck.
But the ticket actually belonged to a player named Marvin Jörres, who uploaded a photo of his arm with the full betting slip on Twitter to identify himself.
The bettor was eventually approached by Tipico, the win/loss agency, and Kahn, who is the spokesperson for the win/loss agency, wrote on his Facebook page, "Dear Jörres, I've heard about the bet you almost won with Tipico. Winning 34,200 euros with 2 euros is a strong thing. But it's too bitter that Sane's goal made this wonderful win go down the drain. But I've got something for you: Tipico and I will send you to Monaco for the second leg on March 15, and you can bring a companion. Round trip airfare, hotel and also VIP match tickets, everything is all inclusive! I hope that's a small consolation for you. I'm also curious what your prediction is for the score this time around."
German media sport1 caught up with the lucky winner and Marvin Jörres said: "It's such a great gesture, you'd never miss it. I was really lucky. I couldn't believe it after Sane's goal. I had never won such a big prize before and I was face down on the ground for five minutes. I could have paid off my debt with this and done my family some good. Prediction for the second round score? I'll have to say that after the game."
