That goal of Rodri's yesterday gets more amazing with every viewing. The placement and accuracy is unbelievable, it doesn't move an inch off line, it goes perfectly straight and flies in at the same height as it left his boot. The defender was almost on him and in the circumstances of the match it would have been so easy to rush it or to batter it and hope for the best, but instead he just plants it clean and true into the very spot he is aiming for. The control is absolutely masterful.

A pass to the net, yet allegedly he can "only pass backwards".

Don’t know if real or im imagining it, but I think part of the reason the goalie had trouble is that rodri’s approach makes it look like he would naturally run right through it and hit it with left foot and drive it across the goal for power, but at the last second he plants his left foot, opens his hips, and passes it into net with his right foot instead.

Not sure if goalie being a back-up might have had a role in him leaning too far over in anticipation of a shot that wasn’t coming.
