UEFA Champions Final Experience: Lisbon-bound Consumers Hail Heineken It was celebration galore for all lucky consumers of Heineken who won an all- expenses-paid trip to watch the final match of the UEFA Champions League this month at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal. At the media interaction held at the Heineken House Lagos during the second leg semi final match of the competition, all the winners in separate interviews disclosed that they were yet to come to terms with the reality that they will be among the privileged thousands of football faithful to watch the epic final of clubs’ most prestigious football tournament live at the stadium. Usurhyel Auta who won from Abuja said that he was destined to win going by the way events played out on the fateful night he got lucky. He said he was on official duty from Lagos and decided to watch the UEFA Champions League matches at a bar in company of friends. Fortunately, he became the hero of the night after the match. While Auta was encouraged by a hostess to participate, it was a different story for Sopuluchukwu Benjamin Ezugorie who has been a perennial participant! According to him, I never knew this will come in a special way because it was the Managing Director of company (Nigerian Breweries Plc) who picked my raffle ticket from the box. It was a memorable night for me and I am really looking forward the final match in Lisbon, Portugal courtesy of International premium lager beer, Heineken, he remarked. Jayne Nelson Uzegbu, the only lady who won in Lagos said she has always had admiration for Christiano Ronaldo especially for his exploits at Manchester United. Fate has offered her the opportunity to meet the current World Footballer of the Year when Ronaldos club, Real Madrid, takes on city rivals, Atletico Madrid in the final match in Lisbon on the 24th of this month. Another lucky consumer, Olufunsho Micheal Akintoye, who won via the SMS competition held during the famous UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour in Lagos in March, said he had participated in American visa lottery without success but the urge to come close to the UEFA Champions League trophy encouraged him to take part in the competition. He got more than he expected. Earlier, the Marketing Director of Nigerian Breweries Plc, Walter Drenth, congratulated the winners. He advised them to use the opportunity provided by Heineken to Open their World in their various professions. The traveling team will depart Lagos on the 22nd of this month and will be back in the country on the 25th, a day after the final match.
