Barcelona stars have revealed that wonderkid Lamine Yamal is the dressing room DJ and the players received an exclusive Spotify Wrapped.
The Spanish giants have been associated with the music streaming giant since the start of the 2022/23 season.
Under the terms of the £236m deal, Spotify became the main shirt sponsor and the club’s stadium was renamed the Spotify Camp Nou.
The stars of Barcelona’s men’s first team were quizzed about who is in charge of the locker room music as part of the annual Spotify Wrapped, which reveals to users the top five musicians, songs and genres during the year.
Yamal confirmed that he has taken control of the dressing room music, despite being one of the youngest stars at 17 years old.
“It’s me, I’m the DJ,” Yamal said.
