There was excitement in the air at the Chilis Bar, Owerri on Tuesday when Real Madrid sealed their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The Heartland State was agog with the Heineken ‘Cheers to All Fans’ campaign’ as the beer brand was on hand to make the Champions League night a memorable one for the scores of fans and loyal consumers that made it to the Chilis Bar, Owerri.
With Madrid coming into the second-leg tie with a two-goal advantage, the odds were stacked against Chelsea.
However, fans at the Chilis Bar enjoyed an unforgettable viewing experience with the beer brand from the stable of Nigerian Breweries Plc.
Chelsea fans and Madrid supporters, as well as consumers of Heineken, thronged the Chilis Bar where they soaked in the fun even after the 90 minutes of action at Stamford Bridge.
After a barren first half, Rodrygo’s brace in the 58th and 80th minutes ensured the reigning champions eased their way to the last four without much sweat.
Despite the fans’ mix of fulfilment and disappointment at the end of the regulation time, they had a night they would continue to relish courtesy of Heineken’s ‘Cheers to All Fans Campaign’
Top entertainer DJ Bliss and hype man, Mr Barango, treated the fans to the best of trending Nigerian and international hit songs all night as fans who were on the edge of their seats while the game lasted soon switched into the party mood.
Though Real Madrid fans went home happier with their resounding victory, Chelsea fans were consoled with the improved performance by Frank Lampard’s men.
In the end, everyone was a winner with plenty of Heineken merchandise freely given out to the fans and loyal consumers.
One of the winners, Ikenna Chilaka, a Chelsea fan who got the right prediction of halftime and full-time results, got a classic power bank, bag, T-shirt and face cap among others thumbed up by Heineken.
