Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand has assessed the importance of Manchester City midfielder Rodri to his team.
Since February 2023, the Citizens have not lost a single match with the Spanish midfielder in the squad. Rodri's goal brought Josep Guardiola's team to victory in the Champions League final.

Rodri, I have to single out. He is phenomenal, and he is the conductor within this team. It’s actually over a year since they’ve lost when he’s played in this team. That’s how important he is. I think he’s possibly the most important player for any team in the Premier League.
Earlier, Rhodri confessed that he almost cried after being injured in the final of the club's 2023 World Cup. The FourFourTwo website named the Spanish midfielder of Manchester City the best player in the world in his position.
