Rodri has fired a warning to the rest of Europe after telling Manchester City’s Champions League rivals that their first European crown is just the start.
The Spaniard was the match-winner in the Ataturk Stadium, cooly slotting in the only goal of the game against Inter Milan, and as City survived a late barrage from the Serie A side by hook or by crook, he began to feel it was written in the stars that this would finally be their year.
City have found it difficult to conquer Europe and since arriving at the Etihad, Rodri has experienced a defeat in the final against Chelsea two years ago, last season’s incredible collapse from a winning position against Real Madrid in the semi-final and a meek surrender against Lyon in 2020.
