I have read it is Handel's coronation anthem, Zadok the Priest. Does anyone know the lyrics to the Champions Leauge theme song? Thanks in advance.

I found the answer to my own question. This is from:
http://www.uefa.com/fanzone/FAQs/index,newsId=25652.html
:: UEFA Champions League music
This was composed by Tony Britten. He was commissioned to write and arrange the music in a Handelian style. It is performed by the internationally acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields Chorus in the three official UEFA languages: English, French and German. There are no lyrics to the song as such; the word ‘Champions’ is simply repeated in the different languages. The anthem is played at the start of all UEFA Champions League matches to accompany the centre circle ceremony and accompanies the opening and closing sequences of all UEFA Champions League broadcasts. It cannot be bought or downloaded from any website.
