The Uefa Champions League has returned and with it, the iconic anthem that precedes every kickoff in the competition.
Composed by Tony Britten in 1992, and based on George Frideric Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’, every footballer dreams of lining up on the pitch and hearing that famous tune play out over the stadium’s speakers.
You’ve probably heard that music a million times over the years, but do you actually know the words to the anthem? Many of us have likely belted out the word ‘champions’ at full voice over and over again down the year, but you need not live in ignorance any longer. We’ve got the lyrics in full right here.
