The photo shows a TV set and the players on the field. On the sides, there are banners promoting Shakira’s new record, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” “The banners! A good enough reason to watch El Clasico,” she wrote, adding in a laughing emoji.
Shakira was notably a supporter of Barcelona while she was with Gerard Pique, who played most of his professional career on the team. Over the course of their relationship, Shakira and their children attended many of his games. It’s unknown which team she supports nowadays, but she stills posts about soccer-related things, especially if they’re linked to her music. This year, she shared a video of the new Arsenal chant, which is set to the tune of her hit song “Waka Waka.” According to Marca, she shared a video of the chant on her stories, writing, “Go Arsenal!”
