Wikipedia baby!
The UEFA Champions League Anthem which is played during prematch ceremonies before each match and introduces television coverage of the competition, was composed by Tony Britten and is heavily based on George Frideric Handel's coronation anthem Zadok the Priest. It is performed by the Chorus of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
