Spotify and FC Barcelona are launching Pre-Game Mixtape, a new original video series that brings footballers and their favourite artists together inside the locker room at Spotify Camp Nou for the first time on camera.
In each episode, a player and a musician sit down to build a collaborative playlist: the songs that soundtrack their biggest moments, whether that’s walking out at the Spotify Camp Nou or stepping on stage. It’s part music session, part candid conversation, and entirely unscripted.
In this, the third episode pairs Balde with Zlatan, two iconic figures. Expect the kind of access you won’t find anywhere else: what’s actually on Balde’s headphones before a match, and what connects two of the most recognisable talents beyond the sport.
The full episode goes live on Spotify today at 7 PM CEST / 1 PM ET.
