‘An experience of a lifetime’ is how Pepetho Barrett, a devoted Real Madrid fan, describes his trip to the UEFA Champions League finals between Dortmund and Real Madrid in London on the weekend.
This after he walked away with an all-expenses-paid trip for two courtesy of JustBet and SportsMax.
He departed the Norman Manley Airport on Wednesday and was overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation. “This is such a dream come true for me. I am still pinching myself and don’t think I am over the shock. I am so thankful to JustBet and the team,” said an overjoyed Barrett prior to departure.
JustBet curated a busy schedule for Barrett who also had the opportunity to tour the Arsenal Stadium and see the sights of the city before taking in the finals. Barrett was joined by his dad Pepetho Barrett Snr and fellow winner from Guyana Keith Dowridge.
But what did Barrett think of the game? “Just as I predicted it would. I am not disappointed, good experience. Evenly contested game. Dortmund dominated the first half but did not translate that into goals. The second half saw Real Madrid taking centre stage and actually scoring goals. Hala Madrid!”
“This match was very special for me, because I am a long time Real Madrid fan and this is the last match for Toni Kroos, he is a Madrid legend and to retire with a win is so exceptional. I look forward to watching him in the Euro,” Barrett added.
The highly anticipated UCL match took place on Saturday June 1 at the iconic Wembley Stadium.
“I am ready again. Let’s do this trip again. I think I will continue to bet and bet,” Barrett said jokingly.
“We are elated to make this dream a reality for two of the many football fans out there. Sports betting is our fastest growing segment at Supreme Ventures and so it made sense for us to enhance our customers betting experience by partnering with Sportsmax to offer a chance to win a once-in- a-lifetime experience at the UCL Finals,” remarked, Kamal Powell, Head of Marketing at Supreme Ventures Limited.
