From the Hand of God to A She-Wolf like me is not for guys like you: hits dedicated to footballers.

Shakira's latest song, beyond its airs of revenge against Piqué, adds to a classification that is not strange in music: football-related themes.

Shakira's latest song, beyond its airs of revenge against Piqué, adds to a classification that is not strange in music: football-related themes.

Throughout her career, every time Shakira released a song, it was an event. Now, more than that, it's a wonderful vendetta that has us all on edge. There are three songs with which the Colombian has cleansed herself of her failed relationship with the Spaniard Gerard Piqué: Te felicito, la monotonía and a music session with BZRP that has been spontaneously dubbed as "A wolf like me is not for guys like you". The last one has been the most aggressive and direct. Shakira doesn't go along with stories. It's a lyrical threat: I understood that it's not my fault that they criticize you. I just make music, sorry if it splashes you. You left me as a neighbor to my mother-in-law, with the press at the door and the debt with the treasury. You thought you hurt me and made me tougher. Women no longer cry, women make money.

Although the motivations are not the same, football and its main actors have inspired countless songs. Several of them as a sound tribute. A brief review of the most famous ones.

The hand of God (Rodrigo)

An offering to Diego Armando Maradona, that myth who was forgiven everything. It was written by Alejandro Bueno at the request of the singer 'Potro' Rodrigo, a personal friend of 'Pelusa', who lost his life prematurely. But he gave voice to the most representative theme of the Argentine idol, world champion in Mexico '86.

A rag ball (Raúl Vásquez)

The most famous polka of the 'blanquiazul' people. Written and performed by Raúl Vásquez from Loreto, "Una pelota de trapo" or "Se va, se va" is sung every weekend at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, the temple of Alianza Lima. An anthem that summarizes the popular origins of one of the clubs with the deepest roots in Peru.

Guys, we are hopeful again (La Mosca Tsé Tsé)

The anthem of Qatar 2022 that gave the blessing to the Argentine national team to conquer their third World Cup. The well-known group La Mosca Tsé Tsé, who recently performed at the Noche crema, had the right idea to create this song that soundtracked Messi and company's feat. It has accumulated 24 million views in two months.

The golden kid (Piola vago)

Shortly before the emergence of Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez was the great star of the Argentine national team. He was a street player like Maradona, he had worn the Boca Juniors jersey, he broke ankles everywhere, but above all he was grateful to his family and his people, there in the Apache neighborhood. Piola vago dedicated this cumbia with Maradona-style flair to him.
