About Lenny KravitzRegarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race, and class over the course of a three decade-plus musical career. Revelling in the soul, rock, and funk influences of the sixties and seventies, the writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has won four GRAMMY Awards.

Lenny Kravitz was recently honored with the "Music Icon Award" at the 2024 People's Choice Awards and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024. He was additionally recognized by the CFDA with their "Fashion Icon Award" for his role as not only one of rock's most esteemed musicians, but also a major fashion influence.

In 2023, Kravitz debuted the anthemic "Road To Freedom," a song he wrote, performed, and produced specifically for the much-buzzed-about Netflix film, Rustin. The track, which can be heard HERE, plays over the film's end title credits. In conjunction with the release of the song, Kravitz secured a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Original Song - Motion Picture", a Critics Choice Award nomination for "Best Song", and the Guild of Music Supervisors Award nomination for "Best Song Written and/or Recorded for a Film" for the soul-stirring anthem.

According to UEFA, the European confederation commissioned Britten to compose an anthem based on a 1727 song by George Frideric Handel called Zadok the Priest, which was originally written for the coronation of King George II. Zadok the Priest has been performed prior to the anointing at the coronation of every British monarch since its composition and has become a British patriotic symbol.

"There's a rising string phase which I pinched from Handel and then I wrote my own tune," said Britten in 2018 during an interview with a local publication in his hometown of Croydon. "It has a kind of Handelian feel to it, but I like to think it's not a total rip-off."

UEFA explains that the song was meant to piggyback off the popularity of The Three Tenors after their performance prior to the 1990 FIFA World Cup final in Rome, Italy. A recording of the performance, watched by approximately 800 million people, became the best-selling classical album of all time.

Each verse has one line in each language, with the lyrics highlighting the "best teams," clearly the tournament's main point of separation. It's a nod to the yearly qualification process that sees only the top clubs from the various leagues partake in the Champions League.

While many fans relish the occasion to take in the Champions League anthem, some sets of supporters instead take the opportunity to voice their dissatisfaction with the competition, the organizers, or other various related issues.

Man City fans famously boo the Champions League anthem in every match the club plays in. Supporters take issue with a situation from 2011 when Man City striker Mario Balotelli was racially abused by Porto fans.

City supporters were further enraged when, in 2014, UEFA punished CSKA Moscow for racial abuse. The punishment, handed down just three weeks before City were scheduled to play an away match against the Russian club, included a closed stadium. That left numerous City supporters with tickets, flights, and hotels already booked.

Man City fans showed up anyways, hoping to get in, and were turned away, despite the fact some CSKA Moscow fans were able to enter the stadium wearing different colors. UEFA did not punish CSKA Moscow further for the circumvention of the punishment.

It got even worse for City fans when the exact opposite happened two years later. In December, 2016, Man City were scheduled to play Dynamo Kyiv in Champions League play. Dynamo Kyiv were serving a stadium ban for the match, but three weeks prior to the scheduled game, UEFA overturned the ban, leaving many Man City fans with too little time to book a trip.

Barcelona is located in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia, which has seen growing support for independence over the last two decades. In 2016, the club looked to support this movement by handing out 30,000 Estelada flags to fans entering the match.

This is the easy version of the UEFA champions league anthem as it is made without the chords and features only the notes. The original song is about three minutes long but this is the shortened version of the original song that was written by English composer Tony Britten in 1992.
