RODRI RETURNS! | Euro 2024 winner and player of tournament is back!

Our Euro 2024 winner is back in Manchester ahead of City's 2024/25 campaign.

Rodri was pivotal to Spain’s success this summer, just as he has been to all of our triumphs since arriving at City in 2019.

The midfield metronome is a master at dictating play on and off the ball, controlling the tempo of the game and winning the ball back in the centre of the pitch.

As the video says, he’s a player who performs for the good of the team rather than his own individual statistics.

However, his numbers in the Premier League go a long to showing just how influential he is to Pep Guardiola‘s record breaking side.

The Spaniard has been in the top three players for passes completed in every season since coming to England, including topping the metric twice.

He is currently on a run of 50 Premier League games without defeat, stretching all the way back to February 2023.

Only former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell can better that, going 56 matches unbeaten between November 2002 and October 2004.

In Germany this summer, he played six of Spain’s seven games and was rightly named Player of the Tournament.

Ahead of the new season, we look back on Rodrigo‘s special summer...

Your defence is terrified, Rodri is on Fire👏🏿🔥

[geovaneteles]

Man City is the best team at the moment. Rodri deserves the Ballon d'Or for playing very well for the club and the national team. You are an honor, Man City. I will always support you. 🤍💙🤍💙

"Someone who will play for the team and NOT FOR THE STATS" CORRECT! Rodri is a team player, he doesn't center or prioritize self recognition on the pitch. Nowadays you see players who play football like it is an individual sport. We need more players like Rodri!

[Jackedneard]

The level that he plays and with such consistency is unrivaled. Our best player.

[MilesWhittington-gsqo]

Such a humble guy. We (Man City) r lucky to have him.

If Rodri doesn’t get the Ballon’dor it’d be an absolute robbery. Ballon’dor has never been kind to defending focused players, hopefully people realizes what Rodri does and how good he is at it

Esse homem não pode sair de manchester city, o rulian alvares era um monstro e deixamos sair, renove o contrato com rodri urgente, renove com debruyne já, não deixe o craque debruyne sair por favor 😢❤
