16 | Rodri - 2023/24

[Otamendi's Beard]

The best example of Pep / Txiki knowing the talent / potential of players.

Not one City fan thought Rodri would be the best midfielder in the world when he first joined. The talent could be seen.... but not the levels he's gone too.

A truly world class player and midfield giant.

I'm still gutted he didn't win the Ballon D'or last year.

Is there anyway we can get him in the England squad so he can come on for Rice late on?

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

Chucking a few digs back at Arsenal is scarcely payback for what they chucked at him on New Year’s Day last year.


The Best Footballer in the World. And he’s ours.

That was the best shirt off knee slide ever. What a lad.

Love this picture of Kova and Rodri. Entitled, “because of you, my legs didn’t completely fall off”

sorry if already posted, but taken from the latest edition of The Knowledge;

"...record for the longest unbeaten run – newbie or not – for a player at a club in Europe’s big five leagues. It turns out it could be a record for any league, not just a biggie, and Rodri broke it when Manchester City beat West Ham on Sunday";

74 Rodri (Manchester City, 2023-24)
73 Demetrio Albertini (Milan, 1989-93), Paolo Maldini (Milan, 1991-93)
66 Charlie Shaw (Celtic, 1915-17), Joseph Dodds (Celtic, 1917-19)
64 Alec McNair (Celtic, 1916-18)
