Of course, the dreaded "Drake curse" got a few mentions too, a reference to several football players who have posed for photos with the star, only to have their team lose their next game. Italian club AS Roma even jokingly "banned" their players from taking photos with Drake for this reason.

Whatever happens, watching the top of the game shout out the top of the game is one heck of a moment. Curse be damned.
