Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that Rodrygo could start against Liverpool in the Champions League final on Sunday.
The Brazilian winger was the hero for Los Blancos in the semi-final against Manchester City, coming off the bench to score twice in injury time, before Madrid went on to win the match in extra time. And when manager Ancelotti was quizzed on the super sub's influence and chances of starting the final, he did not rule out the possibility.
Speaking at Madrid's open media day leading up to the Paris showpiece, Ancelotti said: “He might start, would you start him? I’m not worried, I know what he can do. This is not a game for 11 players, many more will be important and the starting line-up is one of the smallest concerns I have.”
