It a Protestant classical piece by a Protestant. Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet were biblical Levitical figures in the anointing of King Solomon: 1 Kings 1.34 - There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ It is a piece glorying the God of Israel and now the God of Gentiles also, through Jesus Christ. Britain has surely been demoralised (and beastly transformed) if its choice 'hymns' have been so soiled by mass sport that the original meaning has become obscured. Where else has this occurred I wonder?

I never thought I'd live to witness such majesty as a new monarch being crowned while the most perfect rendering of Zadok stirred the hearts and minds of a billion people. It was quite a defining moment for me, and one which I could never forget.

If ever there was a time to be proud of one's country it was then and there.

[@mdsayedhasan6061]

Zadok the Priest (HWV 258) is a British anthem that was composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727. Alongside The King Shall Rejoice, My Heart is Inditing, and Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, Zadok the Priest is one of Handel's coronation anthems. One of Handel's best-known works, Zadok the Priest has been sung prior to the anointing of the sovereign at the coronation of every British monarch since its composition and has become recognised as a British patriotic anthem.[1][2]

The fact of labeling this clip as "Champions League Anthem", without even mentioning Handel, and the real meaning of all the "Zadok the priest" lyrics, is so mundane, crowd-pleasing and unappropriate. As a non-British I am offended. Had I been British, I would have been even more irritated.

Lol the Champions League Anthem is more famous because football is bigger and more important to the world than the British Monarchy. Messi has been called king more times than Charles, with all due respect.

Calling it "the champion's league theme" is not only a disservice to the coronation itself, but also to it's genius composer, Haendel, to whom credit should be duly given.

Considering that this is a monarchist channel, I would assume that everyone here knows that it is Zadok the Priest. I think it's simply a nice way to nod at the similarities between the two pieces. I don't view it as equivalent to the swarms of people on Twitter being unironically like "WHY ARE THEY PLAYING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?!??".
