  • Liverpool — resolved “Yes” on 20 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Liverpool wins the match after 90 minutes of regular play, including stoppage time. It resolves to No if the game ends in a draw or if Villarreal wins during that same period. Readers often mistakenly believe that extra time or penalty shootouts determine the result, but these are excluded from the resolution.
  • Will Villarreal win the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League Championship? — the market puts it at 1%, with $113 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jun 2027. Villarreal wins if they claim the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League title. The market resolves to "No" if elimination makes victory impossible or to "Other" if the season ends without a winner by June 19, 2027. Readers often mistake the linked story about the owner's feelings for a factor in the outcome.
  • Villarreal — the market puts it at 1%, closing 19 Jun 2027. Villarreal must win the 2026-27 Champions League for the market to resolve as Yes. The outcome depends solely on the final tournament result, not on individual matches or owner statements.
