Rodrigo Hernandez This Sunday he added 59 games in a row without losing in the Premier League. The midfielder, after the victory of Manchester City In the Manchester derby (3-1), he surpassed Ricardo Carvalho’s 58 games with Chelsea and is the player who has been in the most consecutive games in the Premier League without losing.
A historical fact for a player who has not lost since February 2023, when City fell in the stadium where they are worst, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, against the ‘Spurs’ (1-0). Since then, every time Pep Guardiola has fielded Rodri, City has won.
A few weeks ago, in the comeback against Brentford (1-3), thanks to a hat trick by Phil Foden, Rodri completed a year without defeat, and this Sunday, in the comeback against United, also sponsored by a ‘double’ from Foden, surpassed Carvalho’s mark. The Portuguese was undefeated in 58 games between November 2006 and February 2008.

Rodri has missed City’s three defeats in this Premier League, all of them due to suspension, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Arsenal and Aston Villa. Last season he was not against Brentford on the last day of the league either, when the ‘Sky Blues’ fell with a team full of substitutes due to the proximity of the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
“I read that he had gone I don’t know how many months or games,” Rodri said after completing a year undefeated. “The truth is that it is something remarkable. I am happy, especially because of what it means for the team not to lose for a year. In that sense, it only makes me want to move forward,” he concluded.
