Rodri has urged his Barcelona team-mates to tighten up at the back despite maintaining their perfect start to the season with a convincing victory over Real Betis. The midfielder opened his account for the Catalan giants during a high-octane encounter at La Cartuja that showcased both their attacking brilliance and defensive vulnerabilities.
Barcelona star Rodri has jokingly downplayed Lamine Yamal’s latest piece of Champions League magic, suggesting that the teenager’s stunning skill move was more down to luck than design. The Spanish midfielder was speaking after the Catalan giants secured a comprehensive 4-1 victory away at Galatasaray to continue their perfect start to the campaign.
Barcelona might be flying high under Hansi Flick, but midfield anchor Rodri has warned his team-mates that they must sharpen up if they want to conquer Europe. Despite securing a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Galatasaray in Istanbul, the Spaniard believes there are glaring issues that could be exploited by more clinical opposition.
Comparisons with Rodri and a clear first-team regular at his hometown club Bayern Munich: Aleksandar Pavlovic’s future could hardly look brighter. He has already turned down Manchester City.
