Introduction

Written by British composer Tony Britten on commission from UEFA. UEFA asked him to compose a religious hymn-like theme song for the UEFA Champions League in the style of Handel, the music master of the Baroque era. Tony Britten wrote the song "Champions League" imitating the melody of Handel's famous carol "Zadok the priest" (a carol sung during the coronation of British kings in the past). This piece is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the St. Martin's College Choir. The lyrics are very simple and are composed of repeated calls of "They are the champions" and "They are the best team" in the three official languages ??of UEFA - French, German and English (see the specific lyrics below). Since UEFA has not made this song a CD for sale on the market, there are very few versions of it circulating online.
