June 9 (Reuters) - American rapper Doja Cat, Colombian singer J Balvin and Nigerian singer Tems will headline the Club World Cup final halftime show in the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, FIFA said on Monday.

World soccer's ruling body will also work with international education and advocacy organisation Global Citizen and British rock band Coldplay for the show on July 13.

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?

Lionel Messi has not only revolutionized the style of play of Inter Miami but also transformed their boutique-ish DRV PNK Stadium into one of the hottest places in the U.S. to spot celebrities.

In just two games, the parade of elite athletes from other sports, actors and singers who have sat in the venue's VIP boxes to watch the Argentine's talent is just impressive.

Inter Miami are scoring goals. Yes, they have been doing it for a couple of years now, but since Lionel Messi's debut less than a week ago, the rest of the world has taken notice, too. 

During this process, fans who are joining the bandwagon have also discovered that the club enjoys celebrating those goals by blasting the DRV PNK Stadium's speaker system with some highly divisive earworms.

I mean, you love them. Or you hate them.

The songs in question are two, and two very famous among Latino audiences:
