Draxler: I put on perfume before every match FIFA World Cup 2018 - Germany No spray, no play

Rituals and superstitions are commonplace in football and Julian Draxler has revealed that he sprays on perfume before stepping out onto the pitch.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger is heading to Russia as part of the German World Cup squad this summer and can also be found front and centre of adverts for Hugo Boss.

"Sometimes my teammates ask me if I'm not right in the head," he remarked to reporters.

"Every player has a ritual before a match and I usually hold my bag in my locker and I throw on two or three sprays of perfume.

"It gives me a feeling of happiness."

Since moving from Wolfsburg to Paris, Draxler admits that he has become far more interested in fashion and claims that he owns around 70 pairs of shoes.
