Drake loses over a HALF A MILLION pounds on Barcelona bet

Canadian rapper Drake placed an astronomical bet on both Arsenal and Barcelona winning their matches on Sunday.

Arsenal travelled away to Leeds in the Premier League, while Barcelona made the trip to Real Madrid to play in the Clasico.

And the outcome of these matches meant more to Drake than most as he placed a whopping bet worth £537,000 on the two teams.

Drake required both Arsenal and Barcelona to claim victory in order to win his bet.

He would have won a huge £2.5 million if both teams did indeed win.

It was certainly a big gamble from the 36-year-old.

Arsenal completed their side of the bargain as they defeated Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road.
