UEFA made an embarrassing error on their social media channels on Wednesday as they confirmed the Champions League finalists before Manchester City’s second leg against Real Madrid.
Europe’s governing body, which administers the Champions League tournament, put up a tweet two hours before kick-off in Wednesday’s second leg at the Etihad, stating: “The finalists are confirmed and the scene is set. Answer 5 questions correctly for the chance to head to Istanbul!”
The tweets were sent out twice with each accompanied by an image of the Champions League trophy alongside the badges of Inter and one of City or Real Madrid. Of course, the outgoing Spanish champions are tied at 1-1 in their last four clash against City following last week’s tense clash in Madrid. Both tweets have now been deleted.
