Manchester City have a number of world-class players, and one of them is Rodri.
Rodri is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and is a key figure at Manchester City.
The 27-year-old is one of the first names on the City teamsheet when he is fit and available.
City will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Rodri is suspended for the match.
It will be interesting to see which player City manager Pep Guardiola uses in his place.
Paul Merson gives verdict on Manchester City midfielder Rodri
Looking ahead to the match, Paul Merson has said that it will be a “different game” without Rodri.
The former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit believes that the £220,000-a-week (Spotrac) 27-year-old Spain international is the best holding midfielder on the planet.
Merson said about Rodri on Sky Sports News (1:06pm, October 7, 2023): “Amazing.
“For me, he is the best holding midfield player in the world.
“For all the talent that Man City have, if he doesn’t play, It’s a different game.”
My View: Rodri is world class
In my opinion, Rodri is one of the best players on the planet and is world class.
The Manchester City star is at the top of his game at the moment.
Rodri is 27 now, and his best years are ahead of him.
The Spain international did well during his time at Atletico Madrid, and over the years, he has become a key figure at City.
Rodri has made 144 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The midfielder has scored 16 goals and given 13 assists in those games.
During his time at City so far, Rodri has won the Premier League title three times, the FA Cup once, the EFL Cup on two occasions, and the UEFA Champions League once.
City are a better team with Rodri in it.
