I was not able to see Fox’s coverage of the UEFA Champions League
Final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea today. I watched it on replay
on Fox Soccer.

I was told by many people on Twitter that Fox Sports did not air the
traditional Champions League Anthem, choosing to use its traditional
NFL on Fox theme that is now used on all sports. If I’m UEFA, I take
the rights away immediately and hand them to NBC Sports. I’m kidding,
but not airing the Champions League anthem is like ESPN choosing not
to air the traditional Monday Night Football “Heavy Action” theme and
using the Baseball Tonight theme in its place.

The Champions League Anthem is so synonymous with the event, that
using another theme tune is hideous.

Since Fox did not use it, I’ll present the Champions League Anthem in
its entirety to you.

And if you want a feature on how this theme came into fruition, you
can take a look at this video on the 20th anniversary of the anthem
which was written by British composer Tony Britten.

Am I the only one that thinks that the FOX NFL Sunday music does not
belong here? I know that it's the "FOX Sports" theme now, but still it
feels out of place.
