Barcelona midfielder Rodri has issued a public apology after television cameras caught him making disparaging remarks about Valencia during a recent La Liga encounter. The Spanish international was seen critiquing the opposition's performance from the dugout as Hansi Flick's side cruised to a dominant victory.
Javier Tebas has expressed his delight at Rodri's blockbuster summer transfer to Barcelona following intense speculation linking him with Real Madrid. The Liga president praised the midfielder as the most in-form player in world football during a recent promotional event.
Ayyoub Bouaddi can “reach world-class Rodri level easily”, former Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has told GOAL, with the teenage wonderkid expected to become a global superstar on the back of his £86 million ($116m) transfer to the Etihad Stadium. At just 18 years of age, the Morocco international is already being likened to World Cup-winning Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets.
Rodri Hernandez did not hold back his assessment of Valencia’s dismal form during Barcelona’s comprehensive victory at Mestalla on Sunday. The Spanish midfielder was caught by television cameras delivering a scathing verdict on the opposition while resting on the bench following his substitution.
