Football: Olivia Rodrigo victim of a running gag from the Ballon d’Or

Who would have thought that the comments on Olivia Rodrigo’s Instagram posts would become a space dedicated to fans? Probably no one. However, this has indeed been the case since the Ballon d’Or ceremony which was held on Monday in and which crowned Aitana Bonmati as well as Rodri.

But what is the link between this trophy and the American singer with more than 38 million subscribers on the social network? The male winner’s real name is Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante. The “Rodrigo”, common to the two stars in their field, and the surprise victory of the Spaniard to the detriment of the Brazilian Vinicius Junior, were enough for Internet users to launch a running gag.

“You don’t deserve the Ballon d’Or,” is written on a message which garnered 30,000 likes on the photo posted Monday. “You stole from Vinicius,” commented another follower. Even certified profiles have gotten into this little game.

“Ignore the haters, you deserve this win,” the official Sky Sports Football account joked. Transfermarkt’s social media manager boasted “congratulations on winning the Ballon d’Or”.

There are hundreds of comments like this under the last two photos from the artist, who has several tracks with more than a billion streams on streaming platforms.

There are also fans of the Californian, who don’t follow football, and who didn’t understand what was going on.
