Barcelona FC, known for its global fan base and love for music, recently set a lively atmosphere in their dressing room by playing Ghanaian afrobeats musician King Promise’s viral hit song ‘Terminator.’ The upbeat track was heard resonating through the speakers as the players returned from their warm-up session to prepare for their opening match in La Liga.
King Promise’s infectious song, which was released in May 2023, has rapidly captured the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide, crossing borders and amassing millions of listeners on various streaming platforms. The choice to play ‘Terminator’ in the dressing room not only reflects the players’ eclectic tastes but also adds to the camaraderie and positive energy within the team.
Barcelona faced Getafe in their La Liga opener, a match that ended in a goalless draw. Despite numerous goalscoring opportunities, the Catalans were unable to find the back of the net, with Getafe’s defense putting up a resilient performance.
The match saw its fair share of drama as Barcelona’s coach, Xavi, was shown a red card late in the second half for protesting against a referee’s decision regarding a potential foul. Getafe also saw a player, Jaime Mata, sent off with a second yellow card, reducing their team to 10 men.
As the video of Barcelona enjoying King Promise’s song in their dressing room circulates on social media, it highlights the universal appeal of music and its ability to bring people together. Beyond the competitive spirit on the field, the players’ shared enjoyment of the afrobeats track underscores the importance of unity and a positive atmosphere within the team.
