Punters and pundits alike were caught out today by Ronaldo's sudden world record transfer to Real Madrid but Paddy Power has responded with a number of Ronaldo betting specials to mark the £80million occasion. As Paddy Power's Ronaldo Transfer tracker shows, the sudden announcement this morning caught punters by surprise. The long-running betting on Ronaldo's transfer had seen Real Madrid touch on favourites a couple of times over the last 18 months – the most recent being shortly after his substitution tantrum against Manchester City when a move to Real came into 5/6.

But in recent days United had been fully expected to keep Ronaldo's services for another year not least following such words from the man himself on Sky Sports. Punters were still backing Ronaldo to stay at Man United last night at 8/15 with a Madrid move at 6/4. Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Everyone expected Ronaldo to join Madrid sometime – but no one saw it coming today. It's unusual these days for a big transfer not to be leaked but perhaps the speed of events was too quick for punters to capitalise.”
