I'm watching the Spain - Scotland Euro qualifier.
OK, Bellingham is scoring goals playing in an advanced role for Real in what has to be said is an easier league than the Prem. But all due credit to him for being able to join such a big club at 20 years of age and hit the ground running.
That said, Rodri at this period of time is the best footballer on the planet. Watching him play for Spain where I'm relaxed with no great rooting interest it is so evident what a brilliant player he is. Zinedine Zedane once said the secret to his game was always making sure whatever pass he made put his squad in a better situation than what they were when he received the ball. That is Rodri to a T. He is in complete control and dictates the entire machinations of his side offensively and defensively. The most under-rated player on the planet.
The Arse fans want to rant about Rice. While he is a very good footballer he isn't in the same stratosphere as our boy Rodrig Hernandez Cascante.
With Rice, Caicedo, Bruno G., Enzo all being valued at 100 to 115 mil pound Rodri is easily worth 175 mil. He is in his absolute prime running the show for the best team in the world game in and game out (except when he decided he was in the UFC or more like the WWE a couple of games back, lol...).
