Real Madrid continues proving its high level in international competitions, and one of the standout protagonists in recent matches is Rodrygo Goes. In the recent victory of the white team over Brest (3-0), the Brazilian excelled with his performance, leaving a more-than-evident mark. Journalist and commentator Manolo Lama commented on Rodrygo's performance, highlighting what many fans think about the player and his future at Real Madrid.
Rodrygo and his great shape
The match against Brest once again showcased Rodrygo's qualities. The Brazilian scored two goals in a match that didn't help to qualify Real Madrid among the top eight club. Even so, it helped to prove the enormous potential of the young winger.
In the first half, Rodrygo broke the tie with a spectacular play, becoming the protagonist of the match. In the second half, Rodrygo took advantage of a rebound from the goalkeeper after a shot by Mbappé and pushed the ball into the net to seal the victory.
With this performance, Rodrygo continues adding goals and stands out as one of the fittest players at Real Madrid. In the last ten matches, the winger has scored 11 goals, which underscores his ability to score in important moments. In total, the Brazilian has accumulated 25 goals in the 40 matches he has played with Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Manolo Lama and his analysis of Rodrygo
Journalist Manolo Lama, known for his work at Cadena COPE, expressed his opinion on Rodrygo's great match against Brest. According to Lama, there are players who, despite being very good, don't receive the praise they deserve, which seems to be Rodrygo's case. "Rodrygo, the misfortune he has is that, in Madrid, there are Vinícius and Mbappé" said Lama, referring to his competition.
However, Manolo Lama was clear in his opinion: "I am now more certain that, when the moment of truth arrives, he will have won over Ancelotti and will be a starter." The journalist highlights that Rodrygo has an indisputable level and that his performance has been key for Carlo Ancelotti to consider him an essential piece of the team.
Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid
With the return of Vinícius, Rodrygo will probably return to the right flank, where he doesn't shine as much as on the left. Despite this, Rodrygo continues to show that his versatility and level of play are a valuable asset for Real Madrid, and his future with the team seems assured.
Manolo Lama highlights Rodrygo, who is key for Real Madrid despite the shadow of Vinícius and Mbappé. The competition is fierce but, with performances like this match, Rodrygo continues to show that he deserves an undisputed starting place.
