He may be breaking records on the pitch, but Lamine Yamal’s music taste proves even football’s rising stars keep it real. The young Barcelona sensation and Euro 2024 breakout star recently shared his favorite pre-game tunes — and Eminem is right at the top of his playlist.

In a recent interview with GQ Spain, the 16-year-old forward gave fans a glimpse into his pre-match rituals and music preferences. And it turns out, he’s got a soft spot for hip-hop legends Eminem and 50 Cent.

Lamine Yamal Uses Music to Get in the Zone

“I use [my Beats headphones] to listen to music and concentrate on the field,” Yamal explained. From early mornings to locker room moments, music is a constant companion in his life. “When I’m in the locker room, and when I want to focus before a game, I use the Beats,” he added.

Latin Vibes for Friends, Old-School Rap for Family

Off the field, Yamal switches up the vibe. When hanging out with friends, his playlist includes Latin stars like Mora, Dei V, and Myke Towers. But when it’s quality time with his dad, the soundtrack takes a classic turn — Eminem and 50 Cent.

“With my dad, we usually listen to Eminem and 50 Cent,” Yamal revealed.

Eminem Inspires Even the Youngest Football Legends

Even at just 16, Yamal appreciates the lyrical power and energy of Eminem’s music — proving that great music knows no generation. As the youngest goal scorer in Euro history, it’s clear that Slim Shady’s motivation and rhythm might just be part of what fuels Yamal’s incredible focus on the field.

And with Eminem’s new album rumored to be dropping soon, there’s a good chance Yamal will be adding some fresh tracks to his playlist soon.
