Spain's Rodri Bucks' unexisting social media trend in the Euro 2024 campaign
Ferran Torres shared a photo on Instagram with two teammates from the Spanish national team after winning the Euro 2024 semi-final. With an unusual caption, he reminded everyone that one of the team leaders, Rodri, does not have a social media profile.
Rodri is an exception because, in the 21st century, footballers use social media as a platform to promote themselves and communicate directly with fans. The Spanish player has chosen to live away from the hustle and bustle of the internet.
On Instagram, you can find several accounts that present pictures of the Spanish national team midfielder. Still, after reading the profile descriptions, you can learn that these are profiles created by Rodri’s fans. He does not manage them personally or employ anyone to do so on his behalf.
Teammate Ferran Torres highlighted Rodri's "allergy" to social media. The Spaniard posted a joyful photo in the locker room after the 2-1 Euro 2024 semi-final win against France. Among those with Ferran Torres was Rodri, whom he could not tag. He added a caption appealing to Rodri to start an Instagram account.
The mood in the Spain locker room is high because they are one match away from winning the European Championship. If La Roja lift the trophy, they will become the most successful team in the history of the continental championship.
Spain has already recorded six consecutive victories in European Championship matches. Since the beginning of the tournament, they have defeated Croatia, Italy, Albania, Georgia, Germany, and France. In the final, on Sunday at 20:00 GMT, they will face either the Netherlands or England.
Rodri is one of the leaders of the European Championship contenders. He left the pitch only for a few minutes in the five matches he has played. He already had to sit out a game due to cards, so he was not in the squad for the match against Albania.
