The song is written in UEFA’s three official languages: English , French , and German .

The lyrics consist almost entirely of superlatives like "the greatest," "the best," and "the masters".

Did you know the iconic UEFA Champions League theme was actually inspired by a piece written for a Royal Coronation in 1727? Composer Tony Britten adapted Handel’s Zadok the Priest back in ’92, and the rest is football history.

Ahead of the 2024/25 season, UEFA released a slightly refined version with more vocal focus and a slightly faster tempo, though the core melody remains the same.
