FedEx Express, an official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, has revealed a giant piece of street art featuring Karim Benzema, Mohamed Salah, Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the highly anticipated final at Stade de France on Saturday. The mural immortalises the defining moments of what has been an unforgettable UEFA Champions League season, including Luca Modric’s sublime assist for Rodrigo in the quarter-final against Chelsea, Robert Lewandowski’s astonishing bicycle kick against Dynamo Kyiv, and Karim Benzema’s ‘Panenka’ penalty against Manchester City.
FedEx Express unveiled the street art outside Stade de France alongside Liverpool and Real Madrid legend Steve McManaman, who had his own defining moment in the stadium 22 years ago when he scored a spectacular volley in Madrid’s 3-0 triumph over Valencia to win the competition. Speaking about the street art, McManaman said: “There has been so much drama leading up to this Final that it’s only fitting we celebrate every moment of it in style. You’ve only got to glance at some of the images in FedEx’s mural to get a real sense of what this tournament means to the players and managers involved. Football fans will be looking at this wondering what could possibly happen next as we head into the game on Saturday – it’s really exciting.”
FedEx has been celebrating the defining moments of the UEFA Champions League across the entire season, including a content series with Xabi Alonso exploring the numbers and analytics behind some of the UEFA Champions League’s greatest ever players.
