Rodri says Manchester City must be prepared to suffer when they face Real Madrid in the Champions League this week - just as they did vs Atletico Madrid in the previous round.
City edged past Atletico 1-0 in the last round in a physical quarter-final that saw the Blues show great patience to break down an extremely stubborn defence. Real will offer a different threat tactically, but Rodri says City must give the same amount of commitment as they did against Atletico to have a chance of reaching the final.
"These things happen in the competition," he said. "Teams play, they are good teams, and we have to suffer sometimes. You cannot expect to be 90 minutes attacking, you have to defend also and be aware we have to defend and suffer sometimes.
