In our latest ‘Reacts’ video, Rodrigo looks back on our most iconic blocks and clearances from our recent history, including John Stones‘, Kyle Walker‘s and his own remarkable efforts against Liverpool, Ruben Dias‘ perfectly-timed interception against Leeds and Fernandinho‘s crucial goalline stop in our unforgettable Centurions game.
He also shares his thoughts on a new technique to defend free-kicks, as Oleksandr Zinchenko amusingly demonstrated at Anfield, and reflects on his role in Pep Guardiola‘s team as well as those of his teammates - the qualities they each bring to the Champions’ machine.
