Manchester City advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United. Bernardo Silva scored two goals for City, while Rodri put in a dominant performance in midfield alongside Mateo Kovacic.
Despite their control of the game, Rodri still impressed with his defensive efforts, including a crucial sprint back to clear a cross late in the game. Danny Murphy praised Rodri for his relentless desire to do the right thing and described him as the best holding midfielder in the world.
Rodri’s impressive stats, including completing 144 out of 152 passes with three key passes, highlight his importance to Manchester City. With injuries to key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, Rodri’s presence in midfield provides City with control and stability.
His ability to boss games and provide complete control make him an essential player in Pep Guardiola’s team. Moving forward, Rodri’s availability will be crucial for City as they continue their pursuit of multiple trophies.
