Soccer and Beer, an inseparable relationship

The Dutch company Heineken and the UEFA Champions League have made a joint presentation of the competition with the figure of coach Mourinho as the protagonist

On Tuesday, September 13, the new season of UEFA Champions League and one of its main sponsors, the Dutch brewery Heineken®, has deployed unprecedented media action.
