Mr goosebumps
He copied Zadok the priest. So what?
I love this bloke, never met him, never even heard of him until now .. but I love him
Its the best song av ever heard
After winning it I guess as city fans we will think about not booing it😂😂😂
Genius, you did the best, the finest,I love Europe.
Is very great
Credit to him and to Handel too! Because of his idea 300 years ago, this masterpiece was born.
magical
Hearing his anthem at their own teams home ground are something every football fans dream of. Hearing this anthem always give me goosebumps
He's not as good as Handel. Very few people have been.
I mean, Handel did most of the legwork to be honest…
If Handel were alive, he'd have a pretty strong legal claim for plagiarism.
Come to brazil. Dentists are cheap here. Nice music.
Clearly a talented guy but he clearly lifted more than the first 2 arpeggios. He also took the way the choral parts come in.
Dude you didn’t write Handels Zadok the Priest. Are we in an alternate universe?
He indeed deserves a ballon d'or
Wait for the Kings Coronation and the music guy messes up and plays the Champions League song and not Zodak the Priest
Thank you for such a beautiful anthem
the fact this video only got 11k views is so depressing to me
Legend!!!
the dislikes are from barcelona fans
Thank you good Sir. As a football fan this song is with me since my childhood. The feeling I had as a young boy is still with me if I hear the song before a game. The same feeling, every time. I am 32 now
Is really done a great job because this song go through when you listening to it I'm sure the player got more motivation
goat
Thanks to HÄNDEL
He cheated. Most of the song was taken from Handel's Zadok the Priest. Not the whole piece but the most striking motivic idea. He took the main quotation from the beginning then he slightly changed the instrumentation adding short trumpet solos and final chord to keep the anthem short. So, everything is the same as Handel's piece except for the ending and different lyrics. Thank you Handel.
You're so genius sir👌. This anthem is the best beside Russian anthem.
Your anthem sir makes everyone shivers .it makes you feel like the world has cami to a stand still sir.
The MAN. The LEGEND. TAKE A BOW!
This Man is a genius, He,s added beauty to the world of football. The saw is always the hit. To be Honest I love this song
After a year and now here am I
Man you're my hero
When you vote Remain cos music is nice 😂
Footy had never become "pretty bloody horrible". The people who think this are the people who see the ESL as exactly down their street
so this man is responsible for my goosebumps every time
Who's the one prick who disliked this
I get goosebumps everytime I hear it.
Who dare to give a dislike!!
Zadok the priest by Handel is great music too!
