Expdonaloaded sports news...UCL: Barca zooms into semi in style

Messi barcaBarcelona last night zoomed into the semi final of the UEFA champions league after recording a comfortable 2-0 win over PSG.
Bayern was ruthless at home as it defeated Porto 6-1 thus cancelling out the 3-1 lead with which the Portuguese side entered the second leg.

Neymar was the man who did the goal scoring job for Barcelona as he found the back of the net in the 14th and 34th minute in the match in which the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic for PSG counted for nothing. Barca with the result qualified for the last four on 5-1 aggregate having won the first leg in Paris last week by 3-1.
At the Allianz-Arena, in Munich , Pep Guardiola’s side stormed into a 5-0 lead by half-time, and Xabi Alonso’s late free kick ensured Jackson Martinez’s header was only a scant consolation as Bayern won 6-1.
The champions league soccer feast continues today with the big game being the Madrid derby involving Real Madrid and Atletico at the Bernabeu. In the last quarter final pairing Monaco will host Juventus in a pairing that is still wide open, given the outcome of the first leg which Juve won by just a lone goal.


…As Heineken rewards 20 consumers
More lucky winners have emerged in Heineken’s raffle draws, giving away trips to watch the UEFA Champions League finals in Ibiza, Spain. Last week Wednesday night, Heineken fans gathered at the luxurious Heineken House, Lagos to enjoy the on-pitch clashes between Europe’s best clubs. But for many of them, the half-time raffle draw action will linger much longer in the memory.
“I was motivated by reports in the media that some consumers have won from in-bar activations”, said Daniel Philips. “I was lucky to have received an invitation to come and be part of this premium viewing experience at the Heineken House. It was a nice time out here and wining an all expenses paid trip to Ibiza, Spain is awesome.”post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com
Every year, since 2007, Heineken had rewarded five of its regular consumers with all-expenses paid trips from Nigeria to Europe, to watch the finals of the UEFA Champions League. But this season, marking its ninth consecutive year of sponsoring the world’s best club football tournament, Heineken had raised the bar of the ‘Champion the Match’ promotion. They are giving away 20 European trips. This innovative promotion is part of the exciting package from Heineken and was born out of the insight that fans know that UEFA Champions League match nights are worth a little more effort to make it memorable. 13 fans had already won in nationwide in-bar raffle draws, and two others had won by participating in radio show phone-ins. The five winners from Wednesday’s Heineken House raffle draws joined them.
Prior to winning this trip, Valentine Aganbi had taken part in several lotteries in the past without success. But the Bayern Munich fan was motivated to participate in this Heineken draw by his friend, who had actually won a trip to watch the finals two years ago. “The lesson tonight is never to lose hope, but keep trying. Tonight, I am glad to be on the winning side.
although my team failed me.” Bayern Munich lost the match 3-1 to FC Porto, and would have to overturn that two-goal deficit when they play host in the return leg, if they are to have any chance of making it to the finals.
But regardless of Bayern Munich’s fortunes, Valentine would be joined by Julian Dominic, Nwachie Onyekachi, Rele Siebeuhaar and other Heineken winners from around the world at Heineken’s world-famous Ibiza Finale. They would watch the UEFA Champions League final match, and they will also enjoy lavish beach parties on the exotic island of Ibiza, a lush tourist destination off the coast of Spain.
These winners were amongst the total of over 4, 000 participants who took part in the raffle draws across Nigeria. Many others took home various premium quality consolation prizes.  In addition to these exotic trips, Heineken was also rewarding fans with 90 premium prizes in 90 minutes: one prize for every minute of every UCL match game. Nigerians simply need to look under the crown corks of opened Heineken bottles for printed codes, and SMS the codes onto the designated number.
The partnership between Heineken and the world’s foremost club football tournament had been delivering world class experiences to Nigerian fans, including the exquisite Heineken House Lagos. The Heineken House, Lagos, would be opened to Heineken fans this Tuesday and Wednesday, when the quarter final matches would come up. They will enjoy match screenings and special entertainment performances in the company of celebrity guests. The House had played host to leading lights across business, sports and entertainment in the on-going activation.
