The Spanish No.16 is the beating heart of Pep Guardiola‘s side and has even scored some of our most important goals.
His second-half finish against Inter proved the difference in the 2023 Champions League final as we secured a 1-0 win and an historic Treble.

Masterclass sees our first team stars talk about their position in the team and what they need to do to impress out on the pitch.
Last year, our Spanish ace gave us the lowdown on the art of being a defensive midfielder – a role he has shone in since his arrival here in the summer of 2019.
He talks about the skills and mentality needed to thrive in the position.
Rodrigo also sets out three specific key aspects of his job - versatility, discipline and intelligence and explains why discipline is the most important of that trio.
Combining an impressive reading of the game with great touch, Rodri has won admirers for his ability to break up opposition attacks before setting up his own with a thoughtful range of passing.
He discusses both aspects in this hugely informative video and his placing in the Top 5 in the two categories – successful passes where he ranks No.1 and possession won where he ranks No.3.
