The importance of the Champions League anthem

In addition to the sporting events, the hymn of the UEFA Champions League gives the games a majestic framework. This hymn, composed by Tony Britten in 1992, combines with the historical royal sounds of Handel's "Zadok the Priest". Your iconic chorus, "The Master! The best! Les Grandes Équipes! The Champions!" is not only a highlight in the stadiums, but also when watching TV before and after the game broadcasts. The hymn was even adapted to the new brand values of the Champions League, which underlines its importance in European football, as is explained on the page wikipedia

The hymn is played before every Champions League game when the teams come to the field and adorns every win with a festive moment when the winning team raises the trophy. The above lines of the hymn, which are performed in three languages, make them an unmistakable part of European football and a symbol for the most outstanding clubs and players in the world.
