Freshly crowned world champion with Spain, defender Aymeric Laporte made a notable entrance during the title celebrations in Madrid on Monday evening. As each player walked onto the stage at Plaza Cibeles to music, Laporte chose the French track 'Pilé' by singer Mauvais Djo, a clear nod to his French roots. Born in Agen, France, Laporte was naturalized as a Spanish citizen after never receiving the confidence of French national team coach Didier Deschamps. His decision to represent Spain paid off when he helped La Roja win the 2026 World Cup. The song choice was widely shared on social media and acknowledged as a logical tribute to his heritage.

Freshly crowned world champion with Spain (La Roja) as of Sunday evening, Aymeric Laporte made a notable impression during the title celebrations in Madrid on Monday night.

As each player entered to music on the stage set up at Plaza Cibeles, the central defender made his entrance to the rhythm of the track "Pilé" by French singer Mauvais Djo — a musical nod to his French roots that did not go unnoticed.

The choice of sound for Laporte's entrance… 😎🎵🔥 — Flashsport (@flashsport07) July 20, 2026

Although the track is widely shared on social networks, even in Spain, the song choice resonates as a logical and acknowledged tribute to his origins. Born in Agen, France, before being naturalized as Spanish to pursue his international career, the Al-Nassr player never earned the confidence of French coach Didier Deschamps and quickly turned to La Roja. That decision ultimately paid off after his dominant World Cup victory with the Iberian side.
