Olivia Rodrigo has become an unwitting mascot for FC Barcelona's transfer window. The Grammy-winning singer's Instagram comments have been overrun by Catalan football supporters this week, all thanks to a quirk of Spanish naming conventions rather than anything Rodrigo herself has said or done.

It is not the first time the pop star has been dragged into his football career, and the club's own commercial ties to her make the coincidence harder to untangle than it first appears.
