No tricks either - it's been confirmed by William Hill on the bookmaker's Twitter account. We can understand predicting 3-1 to United, 3-2 to Chelsea even with the last-minute winner), and 2-0 to Benfica... but 4-2 to Valencia over BATE? Really? Come on.

Anyway, what does the man himself think about his big win? Well, let’s see...
