Barcelona Fans Flood Olivia Rodrigo’s Instagram Welcoming Midfielder Rodri
Barcelona signed a Spanish soccer player named Rodri.
Rodri does not use active social media accounts.
Fans wanted to welcome him online but could not find his page.
They noticed that his name sounded like singer Olivia Rodrigo’s name.
