Manchester City fans have seen many great statistics about Rodri in recent times, and once again, another very impressive one has emerged about the superb Spaniard.

Following his exploits in the Treble-winning 2022/23 season, Rodri has enjoyed another excellent campaign for City. At 27 years old, he has featured in 27 games so far, missing four through suspension. He’s scored six goals and made seven assists, making for another top season for him.

The win over Brentford on Monday means that Rodri has now personally gone unbeaten for one whole year in a City shirt.

As far as impressive statistics go, Rodri boasts the highest pass success rate in the final third of any player in Europe. This new accomplishment highlights his excellence as a player.

We all know how good a passer of the ball Rodri is. It was recently revealed that Rodri had the best long ball completion rate of any other player in the Premier League since the start of the 2022/23 campaign.

The former Atletico Madrid man is one of the very best in the world at distributing the ball from deep midfield positions. But it turns out he is also right up there when it comes to passing in the final third.

According to WhoScored data, Rodri has the highest pass success rate (88.6%) when it comes to passes played in the final third, of all players in Europe’s top five leagues (400+ minutes).

This is yet another amazing statistic about an amazing footballer. To have a pass success rate of 88.6% in the final third is very impressive, especially considering the level of competition and pressure in those areas of the pitch.

Rodri is showing his exceptional talent by rarely giving the ball away, even in pressured situations. His ability to excel with a pass success rate of 88.6% in the final third sets him apart as a truly outstanding player.

With these impressive statistics, Rodri continues to solidify his status as an integral and exceptional player for Manchester City. It’s no wonder that fans continue to highlight and celebrate his contributions to the club.
