    She didn’t miss her chance to declare her love for her boyfriend’s team during the famous music festival.

    In 2010 a romance between Shakira and football began to flourish when she was chosen to interpret the official song of the World Cup held that year in South Africa: the famous hit “Waka Waka.” With the end of the tournament her relationship with the sport was going to become even stronger since she began secretly dating FC Barcelona and Spain International Gerard Pique.

    This year their relationship went public, and it seems that the couple has grown such a strong bond that the Colombian diva has grown a big interests for football, or maybe she is just being supportive with Pique.

    After winning the Champions League at midyear Pique took several of her teammates to a show that Shakira was giving in Barcelona, whom she invited on stage to dance and sing along her. It was evident that she wanted to share more than her love with him; she also wanted to share his success.

    This past weekend at the land of football, Brazil, she made it very to the fans present at Rock in Rio, where she sang “I am from Barca, I am cule.”

    At Barcelona they couldn’t be happier; getting free advertising from a diva is not something that every team in the world enjoys of.
