It all started In 1954, when the English team Wolverhampton made a tour in Europe to play with the prestigious clubs of the continent.

The English press announced that Wolverhampton was the current best team in the world.

Immediately, Gabriel Hanot said, "To be the best team in the world you must also play at Honved and Spartak, and also play against two other greats of European football, Real Madrid and Milan".  And Hanot set the big dream in motion.

In another way the winner of the Europe league competition will have access for the champions, the top two leagues france and russia and don't forget the champions of the leagues portugal, ukranie, belgium and turkey.

But, if one of these teams lost in group stage, they would passed to the Europe league.

Oh, and the rules are the same that in soccer.

Die Meister
Die Besten
Les grandes équipes
The champions

Ils sont les meilleurs
Sie sind die Besten
These are the champions

Composer Tony Britten was commissioned to write the piece in 1992 when the football competition was rebranded, so that part we sing is a composition by the Royal Philharmonic Orchesta and sung by the Acadey of St.Martin in the Fields.

Since 2009, several artists have performed the anthem live at the final, with opera singer Andrea Bocelli appearing ahead several times.
