There is plenty of drama surrounding Real Madrid and the 2024 Ballon 'Or ceremony. Somehow, Olivia Rodrigo has found herself involved.
Real Madrid fans do not need to be reminded of who won the 2024 Ballon d'Or. When the whole world thought it would be Vinicius Junior, it was ultimately Rodri.
So, Real Madrid feels like the award has been robbed from their star player. This is why there were seemingly no representatives of Real Madrid at the award ceremony in Paris this week. Either that, or Real Madrid were stripped of their "driver's license."
Such is the nature of the sport, Real Madrid fans feel like they must vent their frustrations to the ultimate winner. However, considering Rodri's lack of social media, they have turned to the next best person.
How Olivia Rodrigo is involuntarily involved in Real Madrid drama
Over the last few days, singer, song-writer and actress Olivia Rodrigo has seen an influx of Real Madrid fans in her comments. Whether mistakingly or jokingly, fans have accused Olivia Rodrigo of robbing the Ballon d'Or award from Vinicius Junior.
On Olivia Rodrigo's recent Instagram post, the comments section is plastered with misaimed messages such as "You robbed Vini" and "You don't deserve that Ballon d'Or."

So, Olivia Rodrigo fans might be confused to see the attack on their favourite singer. However, rest assured, Real Madrid fans are not silly. Surely, they understand the difference between Rodri and Olivia Rodrigo.
Olivia Rodrigo's comments section might seem "brutal" but Real Madrid fans will be getting "deja vu." After all, even their own player, Rodrygo, was subject to the comment storm due to his name being similar to Rodri's.
So, Olivia Rodrigo has involuntarily found herself mixed up within Real Madrid drama. Still, it might provide the aritst with some comical respite, after capping off an incredible world tour.
From Vinicius Junior's perspective, he is bound to feel hard-done-by given the Ballon d'Or result. However, as a natural high achiever, he will be eager to get back on the field and begin his redemption arc.
Real Madrid fans know who the best player in the world is. Therefore, they will show their full support to Vini, who is their most important player without a doubt.
Next season is a new opportunity for Vinicius Junior. Given that Rodri is bound to miss most of this season (as a minimum), it is a perfect opportunity for Vini to "get him back."
Okay, that's enough Olivia Rodrigo puns for one day.
