*Whoever wrote this song is really a Champion*
@@pyotrtchaikovsky9097 wow, okay
@@pyotrtchaikovsky9097 it's a beautiful piece.
It’s a rearranged anthem of ‘Zadok the priest’ written about 3 centuries ago by Handel for the coronation of British monarchy.
It was composed by Tony Britten
@@pyotrtchaikovsky9097 yeah
The best anthem in a sport's competition ever invented.
ج
True
World Cup sorry
@@TADIBOYTV i dont remember world cup have anthem bro
The dislikes are from Europa League fans
Mohammed Nabeel hahaha.
Not Copa Libertadores fans?
Mohammed Nabeel haha
Mohammed Nabeel hahaha
Sevilla fans
This song should never be replaced...
the same thought I have.
It won't
John Lenin it will sometime sadly enough
@@youngstarproductions3452 no it wont
Soso Mama wouldn’t even be suprised
As a player if you're on the field and you hear this song playing you know you've made it as a player
Facts brother, just being there whether you win or lose, that experience must be something special
@El Glu I'd still be proud to play
@El Glu It'd be even more special for the lesser teams. The CL is the pinnacle of football
@El Glu Why would you comment that. Its a privilege to play in the champions league no matter what team you’re in. Every team had to fight their way to, and earn a spot in this truly special tournament
@El Glu as if you'd ever get to play for even these clubs' b team.
I don’t care about the super league, I just don’t want this anthem to disappeared
Lessss gooo
we will adopt it in ESL
@@nakimteti7249 that aged well
I'm not even into futball but I can't stop listening to this masterpiece!
Ok
This Anthem actually cures depression.
But it causes it for so called big teams who's entitled fans are in the Europa League
U r right brother
Except for bayern fans at 2012 munich lol
yea man, you r god damn right!
Except for atletico madrid fans
A true fan knows how fast your blood rushes when u sit on the couch and watch the players line up.
Francisco Deasis just imagine the feeling of standing on the pitch hearing the song play
jaja yes
Francisco Deasis I live in America so I never get to watch the champions league games :( always in the middle of the day
West Donnelly I live in America and I watch these games
Francisco Deasis oh tell me about it.
When you see Ronaldo singing the UCL anthem you know that he has entered his mood
10 offside goals, 3 non existent penalties given then goes back to la liga to be battered by atletico and barca left and right.
@b5Bart what are you blabbering about? Instead of coping, get your head checked. Make sure it didnt turn into mush.
@@BigKahuna. mhm one match v bayern couple years back where all i said happened
@@b5Bart ok? Hit me back up with Arsenal win the UCL. Or better yet, when they bottle the league. Enjoy your day!
@@BigKahuna. some of us are proper fans of a club with real traiditions and values. Some of you are plastic madrid fans who only support real because theyre uefas favorite club lmfao. Win or lose il always support arsenal, you children will just go back to supporting barca lmao
At 1:10
*Camera points at Cristiano*
James in his head : "wtf Cristiano can sing!! Oh the camera is pointing at me, lemme look up to not make it awkward."
as i thought
lol
Hahahaha nice one
You are funny
Yeah! I remember that day
Lmaoo
If you dont have goosebumps hearing UCL anthem. Trust me you arent a football lover.
Naa. I watch Europa league 😂😂
dumbAss fans
@@pelesaliemeyase522 hahaha
Hey, What about "Only watch South America Comeptitions" Guys?
I do!! I shiver!!
I think every kid has always dreamed about hearing this song on the field.
AlexCOD bingo
except some Americans
I heard this music from field about 3 years ago. From Atletico Madrid match
XD every daay... i still i still daaaamn
Only pulisic has ever heard this anthem as an American
Magic as Zidane rightly said... It always gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it ❤️
Same situation I think yet sometimes I get it too Scooby Dooby Doo
@@mayurrane1125 we're replying after 7 years
The tune from 2:05... WHOA! ON TOP OF THE WORLD🔥😌
The trumpets sound incredible! 🔥
This anthem should never get modified or changed as whole. It's just perfect as it is. ❤️
Hanz zimmer: hold my beer
Blatant copy from Handel's music. Plagiarism
@@comicboy4835 No. Handel, hold my beer. This is a copy from Handel's music.
@@howlerx80 It’s an inspiration from Zadok the Priest. If you listen to the two, they have similar styles but ultimately sound nothing alike.
I support you 💯
Nobody at Midnight:
Me at Midnight: THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!
Its actually really funny lol
lol
DIE BESTEN
asian football fans be like
You're not alone mate.😁
Nothing compares to this. Every football fan, player, manager, hell... everyone involved should go to a Champions League match at least once in a lifetime! I remember the first time I went to see Porto in the Champions League and this Anthem almost brought me to tears, it was my dream and since then I've been going every year there
I can't explain how I feel when listening to the anthem, I'm just in another world. 😍
it's the most beautiful song I have ever heard
yes
I don't understand most of the worlds but still I enjoy whole song
The words are the same mate it says "the main event" in english, french spanish and german. Then "the champions" in all languages too m8
same
me too
If I get married, I want this to be my wedding song lol.
If.....
Search for videos of weddings that have already done it. You won't be disappointed. 😁
Not if, when!
Me too. I hope that.
I like your idea man
1:58 - 2:18 f*ckin goosebumps!!
FR
2021 and tears still drop when I hear the Anthem. A masterpiece...
"Make the game beautiful again!"
Cordon it's already beautiful
When was it not??
True
Soccer war
diving
I think for any footballer to be able to hear this song must be a career highlight
To find out that the players feel the same way i do whenever I hear the anthem brings tears to my eyes.
This song always make me goosebumbs since i was a child, woke up at night and watching champions league on tv alone..
I am from India and the live telecast of champions league will always be in the midnight here. Me and my brother smile at each other with immense happiness when we hear this music. So happy and proud.
@@Pranava.karanth
worst is when your team looses
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
LOL 😂! Feel bad for you guys watching it in midnight. Here is America I watch the games at 10 A.M in the morning (And yes I call this sport football although I’m American)
In America it’s at 2:30 when where still at school or work so we have no way to watch it live you just have to record it
Same brother! I feel you.
Its gets around 1:30 am in Pakistan when the match starts... It becomes difficult to go to university next day i feel u bro...
If you think about it, the anthem does a lot to the reputation of the Champions League
in every tournament should be using theme
It is. From the story of the anthem itself already made UCL reputation of something grandeur
Well....if you talk about reputation goes to my mind Blatter Uefalona and Uefadrid...so if its that youre thinking its ok 😒
Sike 😎
Chills, goosebumps, and tears - every time
Same with me. I always drop tears anything am listening to this anthem. 26 October 2022 I just downloaded the song and use it as my phone ringing tone .
Beautiful, the choir, the melody, the harmony. One of the best music i've ever heard.
the guy who made the anthem, Tony Britten, lives less than 10 miles from my house
Troll
you sure get alot of goosebumps on your away home
The guy who wrote the anthem was George Frederic Handel. Tony Britten plagiarised it - a fact that he admits to in the filmed interview.
Keith Blair source?
Every champions league football night at a mate's he is mentioned in conversation at some point
the look on James face when he sees Ronaldo singing CL Anthem is priceless for everything else theres mastercard
Lmaooo I kno right
lmao
UCL Anthem + Real Madrid Anthem = Goosebumps 🤍
im here to give my respect to the greatest anthem ever in sports, rip the champions league :(
Ngomong apa, tong?
What do you mean “rip champions league”??
@@GeoChad1254context must be esl
Die Meister..
Die Besten..
Les grandes équipes..
The champions.............
Tane Yoroshi this song has lyrics?
Ali Gauhar no 😂
Feneev hassiktir değil miydi lan
Red-Haired Shanks it’s all in German, French, Latin and English
@@aryyab6635 No Italian and Spanish?
I wont lie...this gave me goosebumps! Marvelous...
Harold Ajagu Every fucking time
I heard this song 19 years ago when my uncle & my father saw UCL on TV. I was 6 back then, and this is the first song that gave me a goosebumps. Whenever I'm watching UCL on TV and listen to UCL anthem, it's still gave me a goosebumps, I don't know why.
The composer is a pure genius.
Sike 😎
Same here mayne
Harold Ajagu every time and specially in the ArenA
The anthem is just magic.
The composer is a maestro.
He didn't compose anything. The anthem already existed as 'Zadok the priest' used for the coronation of UK monarchs for almost 300 years.
The champions league will never be recreated.
No other sport can be compared to football. Incredible, melts us away. Goosebumps for sure. Love football. Love this anthem. Love Champions League.
Better than any other songs in the world #footballfans
agree
Putra Yuda Septian yep
Putra Yuda Septian you’ll never walk alone is the best
1955-2021. You'll always be remembered UCL.
Super league already started falling
Ucl theme and real madrid theme songs these 2 can give goosebumps to any football fans..
Just close your eyes, imagine there's no more pandemic in this world, and we can watch football again 😔
Alfi Artya Diwanda sad mate
Your wish has been fulfilled
Uwis mas, aku sampek mbayangne..
y e s
Your wish came true and we got a historic af match last night
"Die Meister, Die Besten"
When I was a kid, what I heard was: "de Barça, de Barça".
Haha
lol same
Me too
Me too
Well I guess many ppl thought of that
ME 2
I’m crying rn. This is the greatest anthem ever created in the universe, football teams lining up at the same time across the world, it is incredible. I’m speechless at not only the beautifulness of the anthem, and the meaning behind it. It makes you feel special, almost like the world is united together football, and that is the most beautiful thing the human race can ever create.
This is not a song, it gives goosebumps
It is a pure connection with divine ❤️😇
Unreal music. Wherever you're standing and listening from.. in tv, in headphones, stereo, or outiside of the stadium just far passing through and hearing the tune. it's magical, perfection, love story, very special and unique. and that harp of angels.. perfection
the chills that go down my spine when i hear this anthem no matter What team is playing ur in a beautiful game
coming from a small country where football clubs don't usually qualify to the UCL but once in a few years it does happen, and then you get to see one of the big clubs coming to your home stadium, with this beautiful anthem in the background.. amazing feeling.
I always feel it since I was a kid. First song that makes me shiver and drives me wild, since then I know this song isn't just a normal song. This song will always has a special place in my heart
I'm too, from Brazil > eu também, do Brasil
I fucking love football...the players, the music, the passion, the games, the unity etc. Man its like a religion
When I was a kid , I thought the stadium in the clip of Champions League (the one with stars) was real ...
Same.
Well its 2021 already..should be possible to have one by now
Me too
@@g3p3t38 I hate to say it, but unless those stars were holograms, it’s physically impossible to build (the overhanging stars atleast, the rest of the stadium can be).
Now just note the fact I say ‘holograms’, that may be a possibility when the technology progresses far enough to display it in the manner seen, so yes, eventually there will be a Champions Stadium.
The best song ever,any time it plays especially on the finals of champions league it brings a different feeling
An anthem that never fades. Always new in the ears. love this till i die . Love you Tony Britten for this amazing song....
Champions league gives me a surge of emotion, way more than World Cup does
listen to 98 world cup song and come back
Clubs have players from different nations while world cup particular nation thats why i support real madrid but not any national team
Every one should support their national team and a club of their choice or if its your hometown club or family choice
@@infinitereck7506 u wouldn say that if ur home country is indonesia
@@marcohalomoan6671 but doesnt Indonesia always participate in aff championship
Thanks tony britten
Brian stevianus Händel
The original composition is from George Handel.
This is simply a spirit song!! It carries emotions and a sense of focus!!... Great ANTHEM!!!🔥🔥🔥
Whenever I hear this it gives me goosebumps everytime!! Never gets old .
Not only goosebumps but it brings tears in my eyes, no words to describe the anthem.
😢😇
you haven't see the translation of indonesian misheard lyrics version
Same Here 🥺
I'm not much used in English world how could i get its ryrics and sound

Lmaooooo
😀😀
Here after the Super League is announced. Mind you, it wouldn't even have a breath of greatness UCL has ever had.
Bruh that's all ready 😂 done and dusted
@@Mrbikecrazie Damn it, people!! At least let my comment age a little bit better, would you?!
So long my friend 💔
The champions league is a very special and magisterial tournament, captivated by this anthem
Best football competition in history apart from the World Cup.
Pogboom 2781 cl is best club competition. World Cup is best international competition.
"The making of the best anthem in the world"
@Julia Styrczula It made a lot of people happy, emotional, sad. That's what football is.
I'm listening it now because after 15 minutes (00:30 indian time) the 2nd leg quarter final of ATM vs MCI will start on 14/04/2022. I love football and this UCL anthem... ❤❤❤
No regional sports competition in the word can match a champions league night, the sheer drama , tension , excitement , euphoria , shock and elation . Show me a super bowl like a champions league night...there isn't one
Its amazing what music does. At the moment where we all get goosebumps, waiting for the match to begin and anxious to know who will win but never want it to end.
If there is any addiction that i have, it's like an addiction to listen to this. The essence of grandeur, power and existence comes to life when you hear this music
Chelsea are the Champions at the time of watching this. Loving it!
Ucl is incomplete without this song ❤
Only Ronaldo who sing this anthem #RESPECT
He is a true legend man that is why
sanjay saxena when messi can make that sing with piaono
Kyle Walker sung it too
Shut up fucker.
Many players have sung it
champions league anthem just like a melody from heaven put into the football match ❤️
Best choice ever for the UCL anthem.
Goosebumps every time I hear it.
LES GRANDES ÉQUIPES !
THE CHAMPIONS !
Hearing this makes you feel like you are on the pitch in the boots of great players, just the sensation of imagining the trophy
inbetween you, your teammates and the opponent. it sends happy signals to the brain
Please don't change this anthem ever...this is pure gold ❤
The anthem is something unexplainable, every and each time when I hear it, I get goosebumps and fell something big is gonna happen. And when I hear the anthem REAL MADRID comes to mind first. Because I watch every single champions league match of them. And I wish one day I'll get to hear the anthem and experience the champions league from a sit of a stadium.
Goosebumps 😢❤ this is an iconic theme
The day the music changes, it's no longer the champions league
there's something about the anthem before every game that let's you know this game is special. champions of Champions play here
Absolutely. This is why I love the Champions League.
When the song hits you go full emotion. I can´t even imagine being a player standing to this song and not give everything in the game. Pure hype!
just simply beautiful!! 🥰
When you're on the pitch and you listen to the anthem you know it's an important and special match. "Lionel Messi"
I got married to this song. Beautiful song
me.too
Congratulations
Unbelievable
Sick
And you'd check the VAR if someone ruined the night
1:53 = "Lets Fuckin Do This"
I swear no feeling in the world can beat the excitement this tune brings every time it is played,absolutely massive
1:58-3:09 Ho sempre i brividi, ogni volta che ho il piacere di poterla ascoltare da telespettatore. Ogni volta che la steady-cam scorre ogni giocatore, e in mezzo la terna arbitrale di turno. Con dietro a loro i bambini che sventolano la Starball (sperando di rivederli, quanto prima). E, in taluni stadi, il pubblico che all'unisono grida l'ultimo THE CHAAAAMPIOOOOONS (e quanto manca terribilmente, il pubblico, negli stadi).
Si crea sempre un qualcosa di magico. Capisci che stai per giocare (o arbitrare, se arbitro) una partita speciale di una competizione speciale. E che le emozioni che si provano in Champions League non potranno MAI essere sostituite/sostituibili da nessun'altra competizione calcistica per club...
1:04 when he told "Ronaldo recently demonstrated".
it made me feel proud as a real madrid fan...☺
Cristiano Ronaldo cant wait for the final tho
0:30 just kills me. Its just awesome
it kills you bro? don't die man
2:38 the best tune ever
RIP ..
~2021
This Song gives ME Goosebumps just Hearing it on T.V. I can't imagine in Person in a Stadium.
#MagicCLSong
2:00 when he hit the drum... sounded like heartbeat💗💗
This anthem sounds heavenly! I can listen to it over and over again.
Every time I hear this Anthem, I get goosebumps!
The bit with the choir hits me so hard..the voices are just heavenly
Tony Britten, a name, every UCL fan will remember for the rest of their lives.
The songs take the grandeur of the competition into different world... Dimension.....universe .... Make's the beautiful game even more beautiful..... Make's me fall in love with the game even more..... 😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙... 😮😮😮🤩🤩😇The champions😮😮😮
