Rodrigo was once again one of the heroes for Real Madrid against Manchester City in the Champions League as he scored the Whites’ only goal at the Etihad in one of Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s few chances in the game. At the end he was smiling all the way to the semi-final stage after the duel from the penalty spot.
Vinicius did not remain indifferent and responded to Rodrigo on Instagram: “Mr. Champions League”. At the age of 23, Rodrigo has already been involved in 30 goals in the Champions League for Real Madrid, with 20 goals and 10 assists in 49 games, 30 of them in the squad. Rio Ferdinand said about the Brazilian: “I love him, he is a player of big games, comes every time”.
After the match, the winger was interviewed by ‘TNT’, the Brazilian media outlet, and during his conversation with the interviewer, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola passed by the area and apparently looked at him. Rodrigo said moments later: “Look, Pep Guardiola passed by and gave me a look.”
