Narrative:
Upon leaving holding at ock; egll approach issued a heading and said 'runway 27R.' two controllers later; we were given a heading to intercept runway 27R localizer. When we flew through runway 27L localizer; the controller gave us a corrective heading to intercept runway 27L. We were told that we should have been on runway 27R. We told him that the final controller issued us a heading to intercept runway 27R. The controller said nothing and re-cleared us to runway 27L. No traffic in the area. No incident.
