What is "Drake's Curse" In Football And Is He Really That Bad For Football Teams?

For some years now, the unspoken rule has been to not allow
superstar Canadian musician, Drake, near your football team,
jersey, or star player. His songs may have gone gold hundreds of
times, but when it comes to football, virtually everything he
touches turns to the opposite of gold. Or so it seems.


Back in 2019, PSG defender, Kurzawa, was pictured with Drake
before a league game against Lille. PSG, who went into that game
as clear favorites, ended up losing 5-1.


That same year, the musician met with Sergio Aguero who took a
picture with him and handed him his jersey. Then boom! Days
later, he misses a penalty against Spurs in the Champions League
quarter-final, and City are ultimately ousted from the tournament
in very shocking fashion.


The curse also hit the other half of Manchester that same year.
The Grammy winner met with Pogba, Lingard, and Rashford on the
same day in early 2019. A triple threat? Surely it was going to
work a treat. Man United’s next game was the FA Cup quarter-final
against Wolves, and if you remember, Wolves sent them packing
after beating them 2 goals to 1.


Aubameyang was the one who brought the curse to London after he
attended a Drake concert at the 02 arena and met with the
Canadian superstar. Of course, Arsenal lost their next game 1-nil
to Everton.


In April of 2019, the curse landed in Germany. Drake met with
Jadon Sancho, who you know was playing for Dortmund back then. At
the time, Dortmund were at the top of the league going into a
very important game against Bayern. 


The picture of Drake and Sancho circulated the internet, and days
after, Bayern annihilated Dortmund 5-nil and went on to win the
Bundesliga title yet again.
