The Argentine soccer star, Lionel Messi, turned out to be an admirer of the music of the Cuban musical legend, Celia Cruz, something that has excited the athlete’s fans on the Island.
After this week the service of streaming Apple Music will reveal the playlist with the soccer player’s most listened to songs, the Cuban fans of Argentina’s Diez were shocked to discover the ‘Queen of Salsa’ in the repertoire.
Among the songs and artists that accompany his training, the footballer has integrated a wide variety of performers and musical genres, demonstrating above all his versatility. In this selection, La Vida es un Carnaval, by Celia Cruz, is among his 10 most listened to songs.
Among the most repeated singers are the Puerto Rican Bad Bunny, the Mexican Peso Pluma and the Colombian Maluma, three of the most prominent Latin stars in the musical field of the last year.
El Diez created a playlist with the 60 songs that accompany him before going out on the field. Under the name “Messi: warm-up”, the list lasts three and a half hours.
Luis Fonsi, Bizarrap, Manuel Turizo, J Balvin and Drake are some of the artists he chose, but the variety in terms of genres is notable, as he included some reggae songs by Los Cafres and Dread Mar I, a bit of rock in the staves of Coldplay, and a hard metal style with the hits of AC/DC.

The song at the top of the list turned out to be One night in Miamiby Bad Bunny, while Peso Pluma is the most listened to with five of his compositions, complementing his Mexican repertoire that includes Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Eslabón Armado and Fuerza Regida.
Other singles from artists such as Rihanna, U2 and even Gorillaz show the variety of the footballer’s tastes.
However, there was no shortage of criticism, because in addition to ‘Doble P’, the star highlighted other Mexican artists and his fans reacted contemptuously. “Thank goodness he doesn’t play football with his ears”; “You can’t be perfect in everything, you have to balance,” were some of the comments.
