Music

Aston Villa’s 3-2 victory (4-5 aggregate defeat) to Paris Saint-Germain was an enthralling and chaotic Tuesday night. The game’s unpredictability was foreshadowed before a ball was even kicked as the wrong theme music played before kickoff.

As is tradition with Champions League games, the players and officials line up at the center of the field while the tournament’s anthem is played in the stadium. There was one slight problem… the Europa League theme was played instead.

It turns out the tournament format wasn’t the only thing changing this season for the UEFA Champions League. A new Champions League anthem was revealed on Thursday and fans hate it.

The Champions League anthem has been a staple of the tournament and iconic when it rings out around the stadiums prior to kickoff. “Champions League” is the official name of the original anthem and has been in use for the past 32 years.

Now a slightly altered version has been released for the upcoming season with changes to the instrumental and vocals.

One difficult part of being a content creator for a professional sports team is getting the athletes to agree to do funny videos or trends. Some people just hate being on camera and that’s fine.

What every creator on a team dreams of is having a personality like Angel City star Sydney Leroux on the squad. Having a player who doesn’t shy away from goofing off on camera can lead to some of the best content.

Leroux displayed that side of herself with a hilarious video posted on Monday of her pretending to be starring in 2000’s R&B music video. She nailed it.

Soccer and music fans were incredibly confused when “K. De Bruyne” appeared as one of the written credits on Drake’s new song “Wick Man.” Did Kevin De Bruyne write a Drake song?

While the crossover would be amazing, the Belgian spoke on social media joking that Drake needed his assistance. After all, who better in the world is there for an assist?
