Camila Cabello: See What The Singer did at UEFA Champions League Final, That got everyone talking [Video]

Camila Cabello’s performance during the UEFA Champions League final match between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid, Opening Ceremony at Stade de Franc on May 28, 2022 in Paris, gave soccer fans something to remember.

Prior to the face-off between Liverpool and Real Madrid, the 25-year-old songstress delivered a colorful spectacle for thousands of fans at Stade de France in Paris as she put an end to fans mystery of “Who is singing at the UEFA Champions League 2022?”. The carnival-themed celebration, which Cabello paid homage to Cabello’s Latin heritage, featured a breathtaking medley of “Senorita,” “Bam Bam” and “Don’t Go Yet.”

In a recent interview with Billboard, Cabello discussed weaving elements of her Latin culture into her new music and into every aspect of her life. “My music, I always feel celebrates my heritage and my Cuban-Mexican heritage, so there’s going to be songs from Familia on there,” the singer said of the performance.

The performance was a natural fit for Cabello, who grew up watching the World Cup with her family every four years. “Out of every sport, it’s the only one I really understand and the one that gets me the most hyped,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to see a soccer game in person.”

Ahead of the 2022 Champions League final, Cabello revealed that she loves soccer, but does not appear to have a favourite team, though she was pictured in a Manchester City shirt in 2018 after performing in Manchester.

"Soccer is by far my favourite sport. It's the only sport I can watch, and I completely know what's going on. It’s the only sport my family really can enjoy," she told UEFA.com.

"I wouldn't call myself a soccer fan compared to [the fans at the Stade de France], but I really do love it.

"There's been a few times that I have tried to go to games specifically to support [but] with my schedule, it just hasn't been able to happen. This is my first game, so I'm really, really excited.

"I can do a very good impersonation of how Latins do: 'Goooooaaaaal!' I've watched a lot of games with my family, and we can get really, really excited."
