Rodri and Nico met up at Evuna on Tib Street in the Northern Quarter to sample classic cuisine and discuss a range of topics all captured in this 30-minute City Studios feature.
The pair chat about the differences between La Liga and the Premier League, their arrivals at City, their debuts in sky blue and who provided support for them when they swapped Spain for England.
Rodri talks about the importance of family in helping nurture him through his long injury lay-off, the football education on and off the pitch he received from former enforcer Fernandinho and the joy at winning the Ballon d’Or.
Nico – fresh from his match winning goal against Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final - tells Rodri how much of an inspiration he is, chats about the impact of Pep Guardiola and hails the dressing room vibes he’s encountered since his move in February 2025.
This is a feature not to be missed!
