The UEFA Champions League anthem echoes.
At moments like this, the faces of local fans in London always display a sense of nostalgia.
The adapted UEFA anthem "Zadok the Priest" was first composed in 1727.

Quite a number of Milan legends are present.

Seated to his left is Fabio Cudicini, father of Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
On Basten's right is Lorenzo Buffon, a legendary Milan goalkeeper and Buffon's great-granduncle.
