Phil Foden praised his Manchester City teammate Rodri as the best holding midfielder in the world after a 4-1 win against Aston Villa. Foden scored a hat-trick in the game, bringing his total Premier League goals this season to 14. Rodri also contributed with a goal, and has a total of seven goals and seven assists in the league this season. With 31 goal contributions in all competitions, Foden has surpassed his England teammate Jude Bellingham.

Rodri’s impressive performance last night extended his incredible 63-match unbeaten streak, making him the player with the longest unbeaten run at an English based club. Foden declared Rodri as the best defensive midfielder in the world due to his exceptional performances and versatility. Manchester City have not lost a game with Rodri in the team since February 5, 2023, highlighting his importance to the squad.

City is aiming to win their fourth consecutive Premier League title and are relying on both Rodri and Foden to maintain their form for the remainder of the season. Foden’s high praise for Rodri reflects the impact the midfielder has had on the team’s success. The next challenge for City is a match against Crystal Palace, where both Rodri and Foden will be crucial in their pursuit of the title.
