In a stunning UEFA Champions League quarter-final showdown, Nigerian Afropop sensation Joeboy faced a heavy financial loss after Arsenal convincingly defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium.
The music star, known for hit tracks like “Sip (Alcohol)” and “Contour”, placed a hefty N3 million bet on Real Madrid to secure a win against Arsenal. Just seven hours before kickoff, Joeboy shared a snapshot of his bet slip on social media with the caption:
“Cashing out on Arsenal tears tonight!”
Had Madrid emerged victorious, the singer could have bagged a massive N10.3 million payout. Unfortunately for him, Arsenal delivered a masterclass performance, leaving his betting dreams in ruins.
Arsenal’s Dominant Performance
The Gunners came out with firepower, thanks to two incredible free-kick goals by midfielder Declan Rice, who controlled the tempo from midfield. Mikel Merino sealed the night with a third goal, giving Arsenal a solid advantage ahead of the second leg.
At the end of the match, Joeboy posted a single-word tweet:
“Goodnight.”
A response that showed just how stunned he was by the turn of events.

Arsenal will now look to maintain their lead when they travel to Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg of the quarter-final match scheduled for next Wednesday.
