Remarks Abhishek Bachchan, “As you guys know, I am an ardent supporter of Chelsea. And this match is especially exciting as we are facing off against Man Utd with Jose Morinho on their side.

The brand’s vision is to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are also empowering in the social context.
