Olympique Lyonnais flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Paris Saint Germain 1-2 Olympique Lyonnais. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Endrick put the first mark on the match 6', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Paris Saint Germain led Total shots 23-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Paris Saint Germain also shaded Possession 77%-23%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Paris Saint Germain the favourite at 75.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
