Rodri - The 2024 Ballon d'Or Winner! (Pg 131)

[Stoned Rose]

Outstanding achievement for Rodri and Manchester fucking City.

Pretty unusual for this to be won by a less “spectacular” type of player. It’s usually reserved for the flair / game winner types.

To say this kid has been on a journey is an understatement. Many of us were watching him, particular in the first couple of seasons, and thinking what the fuck has Pep bought here?

Today ladies and gentlemen is why Pep is a genius. He sees things even the best of us can’t.

Rodri has developed into the very best on the planet at what he does.

Thoroughly deserved and a real statement moment for this club.

No, he is the second—Alfredo di Stefano won it twice.

According to wikipedia he was born in Argentina.

Been a beautiful day, shame I've had trainers on and not wellies, my feet are piss wet through a tsunami of piss everywhere.

Cheating bastards bought the win with dirty brown envelopes. City boiling piss everywhere. IT'S GREAT BEING A BLUE.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Beautiful.

I remember after his Plodri appearances thinking it was a huge downgrade replacing the magnificent Ferna with big Rod,

 

[Stoned Rose]

Ha, I have had a few beers this afternoon, been a great day out in my City shirt winding rags up earlier on.

Superbia.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fantastic.

Let the piss boiling commence!

According to wikipedia he was born in Argentina.

He was, he did play for the Spanish national team late in his career but that was only because Argentina in those days didn't select anyone who was playing in Europe.

 

[pride in battle]

One of those proud dad moments following City, like when David White and Shawn Wright Phillips got the nod for England. A City player crowned best on the planet, bloody hell.

Yes for us FOC its huge, unbelievable really, so pleased, so proud...CTID

I remember after his Plodri appearances thinking it was a huge downgrade replacing the magnificent Ferna with big Rod,

Maybe the lesson here is show a little patience with players.

63 in a few months. 28 year season ticket holder at maine road. Like most, have my favourite players, mozza, lakey, Ferna, david, vinnie, buy my goodness rodri is different level. It's like he is playing the game 60 seconds in front of everyone else. Best player I have ever seen in a city shirt
Congratulations. Well deserved.
