Ruger thrills Enugu fans on dramatic Heineken Champions League night

UEFA Champions League nights are always funfilled with Heineken and fans in Enugu had one they would remember for a long time to come. They celebrated all night after Real Madrid’s remarkable qualification for the 2022 final ahead of Manchester City.

Fans of both clubs, football lovers and consumers of Heineken were treated to the best of entertainment by the UEFA Champions League train, which passed the night at Villa Toscana Hotel, Enugu, touring different parts of the country.

But unlike other nights, Wednesday was totally different, as Rodrygo’s late brace within a minute stretched the game into extra time after Riyad Mahrez had put Manchester City in front.

The game was finally turned in favour of Madrid as Karim Benzema netted a penalty in extra time to ensure the chase for an astonishing 14th UEFA Champions League title remains on course for Los Blancos.

On a night that threw up a mix of fulfillment and disappointment, it was the fans that went home with an early champions crown courtesy of Heineken.
