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.
So they left messages for “Rodri” on Olivia Rodrigo’s Instagram.
The fans knew they were commenting on the singer’s account.
Their comments were meant as a joke.
The result was a funny mix-up between a soccer player and a pop star.
Barcelona supporters welcomed Spanish midfielder Rodri after his move to Camp Nou.
Because Rodri has no active social media presence, fans could not comment on his account.
Supporters instead posted welcome messages on singer Olivia Rodrigo’s Instagram.
The comments jokingly treated Rodrigo’s account as a destination for celebrating Rodri’s arrival.
The mix-up turned Rodrigo’s Instagram posts into an unexpected football fan zone.
