Rodrygo is Mr. Champions

Rodrygo campaigned for the Champions League with a firm step, even though Zidane relegated him to a revulsive role from the bench. It happened against Inter in Valdebebas and it happened again in San Siro, where the Brazilian sent the first ball that touched the bottom of Handanovic's goal, after a great cross by Lucas Vázquez, from stick to stick. He had entered the field seconds before, instead of a Mariano who lacked inspiration and had plenty of desire.

Script very similar to that of Madrid-Inter, in which Rodrygo made the difference with the hurried white team, after having missed a double advantage. Then, the ex of the Santos showed ways of nine: perfect control after a tense pass from Vinicius and a missile to the net. In Milan, he made it even easier: volleyball with the right, coming from behind, despite the presence of Achraf at his side (UEFA awarded the goal to the Spanish-Moroccan own goal, despite the fact that the shot was aimed at goal as well).

Rodrygo and the Champions, love story

Another notch in the Champions League for Rodrygo, who is not dazzled by the spotlights of the great world football competition, but rather illuminated: there are six goals in nine appearances, figures of incipient legend in the club in which the merits in the European Cup leave a special mark and reinforce the white bet, 40 million through, to remove a youth from the Brazilian championship. To the hat-trick With which he punished Galatasaray and his volley in Bruges last season, he has already added two goals this season, against the other big man from Group B.

Rodrygo also feels that connection, which elevates him in white in Europe: “I have a certain star and affection for this competition. I always make goals or give assists… I hope I can continue playing like this ”. And a warning to navigators for Zidane, who has only given him two starts this course when the past, at the minimum, trusted him for the right flank of the attack. Rodrygo, waiting for consistency and confidence, is hammering his way into Europe.
