Maria Plattner: Music That Moves Me

Maria Plattner: Music That Moves Me

Though the beautiful game can be a uniquely unpredictable sport, ahead of this summer’s celebration of women’s soccer, Austria’s Maria Plattner provides an air of certainty—with her pre-match selections. “On the way to the stadium, I like to be alone, listening to my music through my headphones,” she tells Apple Music. “And before I get off the bus, the last song is always the same.” Frequently heard blasting in the locker room of her club side, FFC Turbine Potsdam, Ryan Castro’s reggaeton hit “Mujeriego” makes the cut on Plattner’s 19-track playlist. Ahead of national duty, the Austrian midfielder assists with more uplifting vibes from across the globe. “In difficult moments, I listen to music that makes me happy—it's often Spanish music, but I love German rap, too,” she says. “There’s a perfect song for every moment to help me stay motivated throughout the day.”
