Wearing a revealing red sequinned costume complete with feather tasselled skirt, Shakira brought the stadium down before bringing her little boy Milan onto the stage.

Speaking ahead of the World Cup closing ceremony concert on Sunday she said she ‘will never forget that I met the love of my life at the World Cup.’ Previously speaking about her relationship to football, she said: ‘I have an intricate relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included.’ For the Final, Shakira enlisted the help of Zumba creator Beto, who joined her at reharsals at Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro to choreograph her performance.

The Colombian duo first worked together in Bogotá in the mid-1990s on Shakira’s breakthrough album Pies Descalzos. ‘What an amazing experience to be here!’ said Beto, who traveled from Zumba’s headquarters in Miami to choreograph the dance moves to Shakira’s international hit. ‘I am grateful, fortunate and happy beyond belief to work alongside one of the most incredible and influential artists in the world.’
