Das Finale der UEFA Champions League ist der Höhepunkt des europäischen Fußballjahres. Am 3. Juni findet das diesjährige Endspiel zwischen Juventus Turin und Real Madrid in Cardiff statt. Zu diesem Anlass verloste der britische Chips-Riese Walkers - hierzulande als Lay's bekannt und Sponsor der Champions League - Eintrittskarten. Mit verhängnisvollen Folgen für die Marke.

We recognise people were offended by irresponsible & offensive posts & we apologise. We are equally upset & have shut the activity down.

Had an unusual day in some very strange company. I'm sure we'll wave goodbye to them all by tomorrow.
