Rodri is well-versed in playing alongside some of the world’s top footballers, having secured numerous titles with Spain and Manchester City. When asked for his opinion on the greatest footballer of all time, Rodri, perhaps unexpectedly, didn’t choose Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Instead, he named Kevin De Bruyne as his GOAT during an interview with GOAL.
Rodri isn’t alone in this assessment; fellow City player Jack Grealish also called De Bruyne the GOAT back in January after a remarkable performance against Newcastle following an injury. De Bruyne’s status as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats is well-earned, with six league titles, two FA Cups, and a Champions League victory with the Cityzens.
Rodri shared these thoughts at the PFA awards, where his teammate Phil Foden was awarded the Men’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year, surpassing both Rodri and Erling Haaland for the honor. Rodri was also included in the Team of the Year, alongside City stars Foden, Haaland, and Kyle Walker.
