What is the Champions League anthem, and what do the lyrics mean?

UEFA commissioned Tony Britten to write the signature Champions League theme in 1992 and it has been in use ever since. The piece is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with the vocals provided by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, because apparently we cannot name anything at all sensibly when it comes to classical music. As ClassicFM explain, the piece owes more than just a little bit to George Frideric Handel's 1727 piece 'Zadok the Priest'.
