Rodri was a key player in Barcelona's dominant performance, creating two chances and controlling the midfield. He expressed his satisfaction with the team's game, intensity, and cooperation. The midfielder believes that the team's success is built on a culture of hard work and a shared vision of how they want to play. "We are building a culture based on hard work and the way we want to play, and every player is fully committed to that," Rodri said. "That is the most important thing: creating that collective mentality."
Barcelona have started the season strongly, scoring 22 goals in their first five games. Rodri believes that the team must continue to perform at the same level to maintain their momentum. "We are performing well at the start of the season, so we must continue on the same path," he said.
Rodri joined Barcelona from Atletico Madrid in the summer for a reported €60 million. His partnership with Pedri has been a topic of discussion, but so far, the two have formed a solid partnership, with Rodri starting two games in a row.
