Drake backs Arsenal to beat Leeds and Barcelona to come out on top in El Clasico in eye-watering £537,000 bet... but Barca and Gunners will be hoping to avoid the rapper’s supposed curse in their huge clashes

Drake has once again put money on the line for this weekend's sporting action, laying a £537,000 (CA$833,333) bet on both Arsenal and Barcelona to come out on top on Sunday.

The Canadian rapper could win over £2.5million (CA$3,900,002) should his wager come good, although he does have a checkered history when it comes to gambling.

Although he won a staggering £3m backing both British MMA superstars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann earlier this year, he also lost £368k after Leon Edwards' shock UFC 278 knockout of Kamaru Usman.
