Fuss Over a Misfire, Olivia Rodrigo Becomes a Victim of Real Madrid Fans' Backlash!

Kapanlagi.com - Recently, Olivia Rodrigo's Instagram, the American pop singer and actress, suddenly became a battlefield for Real Madrid fans! This isn't because Olivia suddenly became a huge football fan or because she commented on the European league, dear KLovers, but rather because her name sounds similar to Rodri, the Spanish football star who just brought home the Ballon d'Or 2024.

Olivia Rodrigo, who is usually busy singing and releasing albums, suddenly became the target of a "misfire" from disappointed Real Madrid fans who were upset that their idol Vinicius Jr. lost to Rodri in this prestigious title race.

The disappointment of Madrid fans was so great that they unleashed it in the comment section of Olivia's Instagram! Many netizens even wondered how fans could confuse an American pop singer with a midfielder from Manchester City. Wow, let's check out the news together!

1. Why Can Madrid Fans Miss the Target?

K-Lovers may be wondering, how did Olivia Rodrigo get involved in the Ballon d'Or commotion? It's not without reason; this mistake started from the name similarity between Olivia Rodrigo and Rodri, the Spanish midfielder who made history as the first Spanish player in the last 64 years to win the Ballon d'Or.

Interestingly, Rodri himself does not have a personal social media account, so some emotional Madrid fans ended up storming Olivia's Instagram as an outlet due to the name similarity. Without looking at Olivia's profile or work, they collectively commented on various pictures of Olivia with accusations of "not deserving the Ballon d'Or."

It's not just Olivia! The Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul also fell victim to this misdirected anger. With the heated atmosphere following Vinicius Jr.'s defeat, fans seemed to direct their harsh comments at anyone they considered connected to Rodri. This incident is a clear example of how fan disappointment can lead to misguided and even amusing actions in the eyes of other netizens!

2. Rodri's Competition in the Context Behind the Criticism

The competition between Rodri and Vinicius Jr. for the 2024 Ballon d'Or is indeed very heated. Many feel that Vinicius is more deserving of the prestigious award, considering his impressive performance in the Champions League final. However, even though Vinicius has the edge in the number of goals, Rodri has managed to perform more consistently with more appearances throughout the season, recording 63 matches compared to Vinicius's 49 matches. Additionally, Rodri also made a significant contribution with 14 assists, while Vinicius only recorded 11 assists.

With these facts, Rodri's victory indeed becomes controversial, especially among Real Madrid supporters who feel disappointed. Interestingly, this name confusion has led to fans directing their anger towards Olivia Rodrigo. The debate continues online, with most Madrid fans considering Rodri to have 'stolen' the Ballon d'Or from Vinicius, while others try to understand Rodri's superiority from a more complete gameplay perspective.

Wow, just because of a name similarity, it can become a big issue! If you're also curious about the comments, you can check out Olivia Rodrigo's latest post on her Instagram page! If Not Now, When?
