“The best of the teams across Europe play in the Champions League. Heineken is also known very well across the world, it is best brewed and is also consumed by a lot of people. So, there is a connection between Heineken and the UEFA Champions League. This year, we were telling our consumers not to just to watch the league, but to prepare to #ShareTheDrama, and explore the opportunities that come with the game.”
For the invited guests on the 26th of May, the stage was set to be even bigger and better than before and it was a night they will not be forgetting in a long time.
