*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
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
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.
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
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
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
The dislikes are from Europa League fans
Mohammed Nabeel hahaha.
Not Copa Libertadores fans?
Mohammed Nabeel haha
Mohammed Nabeel hahaha
Sevilla fans
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 💯
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
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
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!!
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.😁
The tune from 2:05... WHOA! ON TOP OF THE WORLD🔥😌
The trumpets sound incredible! 🔥
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
I think for any footballer to be able to hear this song must be a career highlight
2021 and tears still drop when I hear the Anthem. A masterpiece...
This song always make me goosebumbs since i was a child, woke up at night and watching champions league on tv alone..
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
"Make the game beautiful again!"
Cordon it's already beautiful
When was it not??
True
Soccer war
diving
Beautiful, the choir, the melody, the harmony. One of the best music i've ever heard.
An anthem that never fades. Always new in the ears. love this till i die . Love you Tony Britten for this amazing song....
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 😎
Whenever I hear this it gives me goosebumps everytime!! Never gets old .
This is simply a spirit song!! It carries emotions and a sense of focus!!... Great ANTHEM!!!🔥🔥🔥
the look on James face when he sees Ronaldo singing CL Anthem is priceless for everything else theres mastercard
Lmaooo I kno right
lmao
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
When you're on the pitch and you listen to the anthem you know it's an important and special match. "Lionel Messi"
1:58 - 2:18 f*ckin goosebumps!!
FR
No other sport can be compared to football. Incredible, melts us away. Goosebumps for sure. Love football. Love this anthem. Love Champions League.
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?
This is not a song, it gives goosebumps
It is a pure connection with divine ❤️😇
im here to give my respect to the greatest anthem ever in sports, rip the champions league :(

Ngomong apa, tong?

@@GeoChad1254context must be esl
Just close your eyes, imagine there's no more pandemic in this world, and we can watch football again 😔

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
just simply beautiful!! 🥰
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
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
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
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 .
Gives me Goosebumps every time I listen to it. And always my ringtone when Chelsea Reaches Finals. ❤️❤️❤️
"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
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
I swear
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.
I swear no feeling in the world can beat the excitement this tune brings every time it is played,absolutely massive
the chills that go down my spine when i hear this anthem no matter What team is playing ur in a beautiful game
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.
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
Best choice ever for the UCL anthem.
Goosebumps every time I hear it.
LES GRANDES ÉQUIPES !
THE CHAMPIONS !
2:16 kai havertz in the choir LOL
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that
Lmaooooo
😀😀
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
To find out that the players feel the same way i do whenever I hear the anthem brings tears to my eyes.
This music gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it 😢
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.
"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 don’t understand the song but every time I listen to it I have that chills, I picture myself on the field and picture all the crowd looking down at me. The feeling alone. I can imagine how motivated people like Messi and Ronaldo feel when they hear this song, even if they are down they will get a boosted confidence. The song is simply out of this world. Big thanks to the composers, they really did a good job. It is because of them I get to hear this song today.
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 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.
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!
Ucl theme and real madrid theme songs these 2 can give goosebumps to any football fans..
Esta canción no es solo es hermosa por como suena, sino que al escucharla nos imaginamos ese sueño que nunca logramos de estar en un partido de esa magnitud como es una final de champions, por eso cuando empieza a sonar tenemos tantos sentimientos por la canción, por eso es tan única , porque nuestro niño interior lleno de sueños sigue dentro de nosotros, y aunque ya estamos mayores una parte de nosotros siempre querrá jugar LA CHAMPIONS
Thanks tony britten
Brian stevianus Händel
The original composition is from George Handel.
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
Such a masterpiece. Goosebumps every single time you hear it ❤️
The champions league will never be recreated.
champions league anthem just like a melody from heaven put into the football match ❤️
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

This anthem will resonate more than a century. Forever.
This anthem really gives goosebumps everytime i hear it🙏😍
This song gives me goosebumps Everytime when players stand for this anthem

Absolutely. This is why I love the Champions League.
This Song gives ME Goosebumps just Hearing it on T.V. I can't imagine in Person in a Stadium.
#MagicCLSong
This song should be immortalized. The grandeur, the beauty and the timeless nature of it.
Fans of clubs who won it will tear up whenever they hear it.
Goosebumps 😢❤ this is an iconic theme
No matter when and where i listen this song 🔥 it always gives me goosebumps 🔥❤
The bit with the choir hits me so hard..the voices are just heavenly
the anthem actually gives you chills every time you listen it
Abso bro
This anthem always gives me goosebumps . 🔥
The first UCL game I watched was in 1996 since that time I still amazed by this Anthem! When I listen to it I feel goosebumps 😌 it is amazing and spectacular ✌🏻
Whenever I hear this anthem I always stand and sing it loud as possible and it feels soo emotional ...
The beginning of the song elevates such great feeling, passion and chills of the whole competition
This anthem gives me high spirit whenever I listened to it...
And even when playing UCL on PES
The anthem is on a different level
0:30 just kills me. Its just awesome
it kills you bro? don't die man
2:00 when he hit the drum... sounded like heartbeat💗💗
This song is a masterpiece of all UCL fans
No hay duda que el himno de la Champions League es de lo mejor, me enamora cuando lo escucho, me trae Orgullo de mi equipo, me trae paz me lleva en lo mas alto de mi imaginación, espero que nunca lo quiten. 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
I got married to this song. Beautiful song
me.too
Congratulations
Unbelievable
Sick
And you'd check the VAR if someone ruined the night
When I die, I want them to play this tune over and over again until every time someone listens to it, the memory of me tears up their eyes. Now that's how you live on
Melhor do que qualquer abertura de copa do mundo! É o verdadeiro hino do futebol!
Verdade.
