The teenager watched Jude Bellingham's opening goal live from the stadium as Luka Modric produced a marvellous assist. Lucas Vazquez found the veteran midfielder on the edge of the box who in turn lobbed the ball first time towards the England international who found the back of the net. Rodrygo then doubled his team's lead in the 37th minute from Vazquez's assists.
The Modric-Bellingham link-up was a sign of things to come as the pair shone in Sunday's clash, with Brahim Diaz's fine effort in the second half being aded to by the Croatian shortly after as Carlo Ancelotti watched his side put on a dominant display.
