He has become the maestro Pep Guardiola has always wanted and craved at the base of midfield; the heir to the lineage begun by Sergio Busquets at Barcelona and continued by Xabi Alonso at Bayern Munich. The latest in a legendary lineage.<\/p>\n<p>Rodri ran the show against Everton, rotating the ball so sharply to ensure that the Toffees never got a look. He had the joint-most touches in the game (123), the most passes attempted and completed (108\/115 @ 94%), the fourth-most passes in the final third (33). He also won 3\/3 aerial duels and 2\/3 tackles in addition to making an interception and creating a single chance.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and he scored the second goal of the game. The goal that turned City&#8217;s dominant but nervy 1-0 lead into one of their commanding 2-0 scorelines. Seriously, this goal was something special, reminiscent of Vincent Kompany&#8217;s against Leicester at the back end of 2018\/19.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rodri&#39;s game by numbers vs. Everton:<\/p>\n<p>123 touches<br \/>115 passes<br \/>100% take-on success<br \/>100% shot accuracy<br \/>94% pass accuracy<br \/>7 duels won<br \/>5 passes into the box<br \/>4 ball recoveries<br \/>3 aerial duels won<br \/>3 tackles made<br \/>1 shot<br \/>1 goal<\/p>\n<p>Pure class. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z9taSE4NOu\">pic.twitter.com\/Z9taSE4NOu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1462450549475921924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>After a City attack broke down, the ball bounced out to Rodri who came onto the ball about 30 yards from goal and then just absolutely just leathered it. He connected sweeter than the last piece of the jigsaw slotting into place and launched that thing like the Saturn V rocket.<\/p>\n<p>The ball flew off his foot with the speed and fury of a Mike Tyson hook and was just as devastating. Even with fully-sized human arms, Jordan Pickford would have never been able to stop it, so sweet and so powerful this phenomenal strike.<\/p>\n<p>After Rodri&#8217;s goal, the game became something of a procession as City tried to conjured the most ridiculous ways to score. Bernardo Silva bundled home a third and Raheem Sterling skewed a sitter into the arms of Pickford.<\/p>\n<p>But as the final whistle blew, City knew that they owed their win to their midfield maestro, their special Spaniard, the ridiciulously resplendent Rodri. With him at the base of midfield you can only wonder how far Pep Guardiola&#8217;s men can go this season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1143742\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/football-supports-black-lives-matter-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1143742\" class=\"wp-image-1143742 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures.png\" alt=\"Black Lives Matter in football\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-66x37.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-620x350.png 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-940x530.png 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1143742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Black Lives Matter:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/football-supports-black-lives-matter-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more about the cause footballers are taking the knee for<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City dominated Everton at the Etihad, winning 3-0 thanks in part to a Rodri midfield masterclass.
