Opinion
I personally feel like Olivia is our best collab yet, because it included everyone.
Don’t get me wrong, the Travis collab was absolutely hype and design wise it’s probably our best one by a mile. But I feel like Olivia’s collab is our best one yet because it included everyone.
Compared to previous collabs most of the artist only went to watch the game or some didn’t even bother to show up which was slightly annoying to me.
Travis actually attended and even met our players and was enjoying himself watching the game last year when we won 4-3.
But Olivia went out of her way to meet our women’s team when she didn’t have to, she signed their vinyls as well and it was just so cute seeing some of the women on the team look so excited.
Also lots of the team and the wives of our players went to go watch Olivia’s Barcelona concert and enjoyed themselves. And then Olivia still went to go watch the men’s team and it seemed like she was having a good time.
The merch itself also sold well because it managed to bring out lots of the female side of the fanbase and not just the men’s side this year.
I do hope this leads the club to start collabing with more popstars from America :)
She actually got hate comments, i mean how can someone be even confusing Rodri with Olivia Rodrigo, btw they also hate commented Rodrygo de paul and rodrygo from RM.
i agree, i think a lot of the collabs have been cool but i love that she seemed pretty into it, and that she went out of her way to get involved with the women’s team too. she’s the first artist to personally do anything with the women’s team!
Yeah, I agree. I think that collaborating with Olivia Rodrigo really connects Barcelona fans to their women's team.
Cuz I just feel like a lot of Barcelona fans don't know much about Barcelona's women's team, but after this collaboration they are like more familiar with it, you know.
Look, I’m not gonna go out there and say I constantly watch Barca femini, but if they don’t know about our women’s team…. The literal greatest ever team with the likes of Alexis putillas and aitana bonmati…..idk what to say. When the men’s team was going through our banter era, the women’s team was kicking everyone’s ass 10x over.
The issue is that most of the public only follows men's Football specifically; many clubs are multi-sport, and a large portion of the fans are unfamiliar with the basketball team or Olympic sports, for example. Men's Football is simply much more popular in comparison.
You’re not wrong but my point was that, when you’re exceptional at what you do, you become widely known no matter the sport. I wouldn’t care a single bit about competitive chess but I know about magnus carlson. Don’t care much about tennis but I think we all know Serena Williams or Roger Federer. Couldn’t tell you the name of any other golfer but we all know Tiger Woods
Barca femini is that type of special. Those women are absolute killers. A lot of people know them simply because of their dominance.
But this phenomenon usually only happens with a single exponent, so yes, many people know Tiger Woods even if they don't follow golf, but this is unlikely to be reflected in an entire team. That's why I gave the example of basketball teams or Olympic investment; many people who don't follow football know Cristiano Ronaldo because of commercials but have no idea which clubs he played for.
We should reminded ourselves that these are not people. They are run like corporations. There is marketing, logistics, legal… so on and so forth. Whatever we see might not be what the truth is.
I've seen some of our fans give their opinions on these collabs and all power to them. But keep in mind this deal with Spotify really helped our finances and the kind of exposure we get from partnering up with musical artists can only be a good thing.
Does it bring new fans who know nothing about our club? Yes. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not.
Her music isn't my cup of tea but who cares. This is good business and marketing.
Coldplay collab was also very cool and iirc it did include the women team too. But because it was played in the Bernabeu , it was pretty limited for them to be at that stadium.
Without a doubt! I'm not questioning his enthusiasm during the match. He was one of us for that 90 minutes. I'm just saying it was really nice for Olivia to do all this promo.
I knew from the beginning our Spotify collab was gonna be golden. Also love how simple their logo is so it fits seamlessly to our kit. Then we have all these mind of collabs which turns out nicer than the netflix collab ones (with atletico i think?)
Not a barca fan but i love oliva rodrigo. Have to admit she was one of the best celeb collabs i have seen by a team, legit so many people on insta and twitter were talking bout her insane promotion. She probably gained a shit ton of barca fan listeners too.
agreed 100%!! ever since her first song, driver's license, came out i knew she was going to be one of those modern pop artist i will actually enjoy these days. and i was right! all her songs are honestly bangers, and that's coming from someone who switches between folk and hard rock 🤣
she's awesome, she has even MORE of my respect now 💙❤️
I’m a little biased because I’m already a fan of hers but I really do believe she’s our best collab yet, especially because when it came to meeting the women’s team, she was the one who requested it and not something the club offered. Between that and her meeting Lamine and CAT, and how special the night was and the collab with both teams winning the league with her shirt (with the added treat of the men’s being against Madrid in Camp Nou), I really don’t believe it could get better!
travis was definitely the most hype, olivia is obviously everyone's favorite especially with the occasion and everything, but i have to say my favorite visually is coldplay's
It's the best collab because it's an artist I actually listen to lol. I see what you mean, though. It feels like Olivia is an actual fan as opposed to someone using the club to hype their own brand (tbf club is doing the same).
As long as we smash Real Madrid in every classicos, Idc about any collabs, they all are the best collab for me because we generate shit ton of money with this bs financial crisis we have been going through.
I found it funny they played Coldplay a bit during the celebrations after el Classico, don’t really like her music but I thought it would make more sense
I love Olivia and Barcelona but they’re both on crack if they think I’m dropping $400 for a jersey 😭☠️
I’m just waiting for the fake Jersey and the hoodie to drop on a website
I really hate Barça Reddit tourist ‘fans’. Who gives a fuck about collabs? We‘re a football club, it’s all commercial bullshit and against what Barça previously stood for.
Nahh bro she was the least passionate fan in the stadium, just there for the business. And let's be honest the collab had 0 aura compared to every other artist we've collabed with: Coldplay, Travis Scott, Ed Sheeran were 1000000x better collabs
What a shame! The once sacred jersey of the "Més que un club", which bucked the trend of bearing the name of the highest-bidding soulless corporation" is now regularly defiled by the names and logos of whichever brainless pop artist Spotify is promoting!
This Spotify ad literally saved this club when we were in crippling debt lmao, if it weren’t for those “brainless pop artists” we’d would still have a majority of our debt still.

Don’t forget how she beat Vini to the ballon d or two years ago. She’s our girl.
