Rodri named Champions League Player of the Season as six Man City teammates earn awards

Rodri is the Player of the Year for the 2022/23 Champions League after scoring the winning goal for Manchester City in Saturday's final vs Inter Milan, while Golden Boot winner Erling Haaland collected the Goal of the Season award in the competition.

Rodri's perfectly-placed goal was enough to beat Inter Milan, and followed his stunning effort in the quarter-final vs Bayern Munich. As well as Rodri's overall accolade, City have seven representatives in the Champions League team of the season - with John Stones included as an out-and-out midfielder.

Stones has developed this season into a ball-playing midfielder, moving forward from a defensive base when City have the ball. His three best performances in that role came in the quarter-finals vs Bayern Munich, the semi-final against Real Madrid, and then in the final win over Inter Milan.
