Having worked on the UEFA Champions Film 2015 – the official film of the UEFA Champions League – which screened at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, I returned to work on adapting the film for screening before the Champions League Final in Milan the following year.

The Champions Film was commissioned by UEFA to chart the history of the tournament from it’s beginnings as the European Cup through to the present day Champions League format, encompassing many of the tournament’s and indeed club football’s most iconic moments. As part of this year’s adaptation I was required to script, cut and deliver two new sequences – one in memory of the recent passing of Johan Cruyff and one to celebrate the Milanese setting and the footballing heritage of the city’s iconic rival clubs.
