Rodri directs FC Barcelona from victory to victory

Since 2015 FC Barcelona is waiting for another title in the Champions League. With Rodri, a new strategist is here, leading the team from victory to victory. Now PSG and the Clásico are waiting. By Marcus Bark Ten out of ten - so it stands in the statistics for the long passes. Nine out of nine - this is about the passes with space gain. For the passports that have arrived at a colleague, the quota is less than 100 percent, but 126 out of 129 is still famos. In this case, however, it is rather normal, because the player who is behind these numbers is named Rodri. The data refers to the past match of FC Barcelona in La Liga. The Catalans won 5-2 at Betis Sevilla, Rodri scored a goal, it was the ninth victory in the ninth game of the season. Eight of them also contested Rodri, so that, considering the two successes in the Champions League, he is at a victory rate of 100 percent. If this Rodri now requires his colleagues to meet the next opponent with humility, then this opponent must be quite good. He is too, because FC Barcelona will compete with coach Hansi Flick on Tuesday evening in the Champions League at 9 pm at Paris Saint-Germain. The defending champion is currently the benchmark in European football, Rodri added, and this verdict is likely to have played a role in PSG winning 4-2 at Manchester City last week. Rodri's former club has a 100 percent victory rate in the Premier League, but clearly defeated the French. With great excitement it is expected whether and how Manchester City will be punished for financial crimes, the possible sanctions also include the withdrawal of titles. Rodri faces no danger, because his four championships and the Champions League he won with City after the investigated period from 2009 to 2018, but a shadow also lies over the time when Rodri under Pep Guardiola steered from the defensive midfield the game of the club that hamstered with the billions from Abu Dhabi titles. The importance of the Spaniard for City was evident in season 24/25. Manchester City threatened to miss the Champions League, there was a series of four defeats in the Premier League, and on the list of reasons for the crisis was the name Rodri at the top. He had contracted a cruciate ligament tear at the beginning of the season. He did not become champion after his recovery, but in the spring he dusted off the FA Cup and the League Cup. Then it went to the World Cup in North America, Rodri won with Spain the title and the award to the player of the tournament. This is exactly how it was two years earlier at the European Championship. Rodri is an outstanding footballer and a lot would have to go wrong if he did not also win many titles with FC Barcelona, which paid about 76.5 million euros to Manchester City and provided Rodri with a contract valid until 2030. However, the win rate of 100 percent is in great danger in the near future. After the game at PSG, the Clàsico is on Sunday in La Liga against Real Madrid.The big stage is ready for the great conductor, for whom extraordinary performances are rather the normal case.
