It seems like Olivia Rodrigo has found herself caught in the middle of a surprising and unexpected rivalry. While pop fandom can often be chaotic, the intense competition between football fans is on a whole other level. Unfortunately, the talented singer has become the target of some heated attacks from Real Madrid fans on social media. It all started when fans mistaken her for Manchester City player, Rodri, and have flooded her Instagram comments with their opinions.
The 21-year-old singer and the midfielder, Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, do share a striking resemblance. In fact, Rodri was recently awarded the highly coveted Ballon d’Or, which is considered the most prestigious individual award in the football world. It has become a tradition for fans to react to the winner's announcement by showing support or engaging in some friendly trolling, depending on their loyalty to their favorite team.
However, since Rodri does not have any social media accounts, it seems like Real Madrid fans who believe that their player, Vinicius Jr., should have won the award, have taken matters into their own hands. Olivia's Instagram post from an event the day before the football awards ceremony has been bombarded with comments such as "You robbed Vini! Have some shame!" and "You don't deserve that award!"
Despite the overwhelming backlash, Olivia has chosen to ignore the negative comments and has continued to post on her Instagram. However, her posts have been quickly taken over by fans showing their support for Rodri. This cycle has been ongoing for several hours, with Vinicius Jr. supporters still trying to make their voices heard.
It's no secret that Vinicius Jr. was the favorite to win the award, especially after his impressive performance in helping Real Madrid secure the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup last season. However, a leak before the ceremony revealed that Rodri, who is 28 years old, would be taking home the trophy. This news caused Madrid's delegation, which was supposed to include Vinicius Jr., to cancel their trip to Paris in protest. It seems like this move has inspired Real Madrid fans to create their own form of protest by attacking Olivia on social media.
It's unclear if this joke started because of the similarities between the two players' looks or their names, but it doesn't seem like it will be dying down anytime soon.
