You find this annoying?

 

This an amazing song. It adds a touch of class to the event and is timeless. The only sports-related songs I can think of that are as powerful are the NBC Olympic songs ("Bugler's Dream" and "Olympic Fanfare and Theme.") UEFA will probably play this song for decades - whereas I tend to doubt that "REMEMBER ME! FOR CENTURIES!" despite its lyrics, is going to have staying power.

Drink a Heineken every time you see Heineken during a Champions League game.

Fox wouldn't have brought Champions League games to the U.S. without Heineken's money and commitment. True story. So I for one will gladly drink a Heineken or 5 in gratitude.

You could see his age tho today. He was getting murked at times on the ball. His experience helped but he just didn't have the physical tools anymore.

For the rest, they've agreed to transfer Paulo Dybala from Palermo. They've got Mimmo Berardi, Marrone and Zaza on loan tearing up Serie A at Sassuolo. Plus another year for Morata, Coman, Sturaro. Next year's team should be even better.

If Juve can get over their stadium debt issues, they should be a force in Europe. Hopefully this UCL can help market Juve internationally like AC. 

They're the only Italian team that will be relevant for the next few years honestly... The stadium will start paying dividends soon hopefully.
