“Music helps me find my balance,” Jamal Musiala tells Apple Music. “Sometimes it’s about getting into the right energy, but mostly it helps me stay calm and focused. It helps me stay in my rhythm.” For the German midfielder, music is a constant on big-game days. It’s there in the morning when he wakes up and then again when he’s en route to a match or in the locker room. The mood? The mellow, downtempo rap, Afrobeats, and R&B that you’ll find in this playlist, which features tracks from artists including Drake, P-Square, Gunna, DJ Khaled, and StarBoy. “It’s nothing too aggressive,” says Musiala of his pre-match musts, though his selection takes the energy up just a touch towards the end, presumably for when he’s in that locker room and waiting for kickoff. “It’s more about staying relaxed and focusing than getting too hyped,” he says.
