Why fans hate new UEFA Champions League anthem
UEFA's recent release of the new Champions League anthem has sparked a wave of discontent among football fans. The revised tune, which traditionally marks the beginning of each match, has been met with widespread criticism. Fans accuse UEFA of "ruining football" and believe that the competition has "lost its aura" due to this change.
Fans demand return of old anthem
The backlash against the new anthem is so intense that fans are pleading for the return of the old version. They argue that the original tune, composed by Tony Britten in 1992, was an integral part of the Champions League experience. This sentiment underscores their deep-seated dissatisfaction with UEFA's decision to alter a beloved tradition.
'I can't believe they've changed it'
The dissatisfaction with the new anthem has spilled over onto social media platforms. One fan tweeted, "The new Champions League anthem is a disgrace. It's not even close to the original." Another added, "I can't believe they've changed it. The old one was iconic." "Please tell me this is an April Fools' joke in August," said another X user. These comments reflect a widespread sentiment among fans who feel that UEFA's decision has negatively impacted the prestige of the competition.
