My sister made the best choice in purchasing the Grand Livina as it was spacious for the whole family. It was our first trip to the European country and I was really excited. Staff from ETCM were very accommodating and we enjoyed every moment of our trip there tremendously. Watching the game up close was truly an exhilarating and unforgettable experience for us.”
FINAL WINNER: Shee Ah Leek, the lucky final winner, experiencing the much anticipated UEFA Champions League Final 2016 in Milan live at San Siro stadium that saw Real Madrid C.F. take home the trophy.

Seeing the fans cheering for their teams was truly a great experience for my friend and I. Apart from the Finals, ETCM has also organised a city tour for us to see all the wonderful historical places and monuments.”

“Thank you ETCM and Nissan for this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience where we were able to wave the flag at the most-watched annual sports event in the world. It was a great privilege to represent Malaysia as I stood there in the middle of the stadium. This was my first time ever and I could not ask for more.”
MEET THE AMBASSADOR: Winner Mohd Fairus was also eager to be able to meet UEFA Champions League record-holder, Clarence Seedorf.
