Rodrygo Says He Doesn’t Like Facing Man City in the Champions League
Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has admitted that facing Manchester City in the Champions League is never easy and not a matchup he enjoys.
Speaking ahead of their first-leg clash at the Etihad Stadium, the Brazilian opened up about the challenge of playing against Pep Guardiola’s side.
“I don’t really like playing against Manchester City. Nobody enjoys facing them as much as they do playing against us,” Rodrygo said.
He acknowledged both good and tough moments in past encounters but remains hopeful for a positive result this time.
“I’ve scored a few goals against them and had some great moments, but there were also difficult ones. It’s always a tough game, but I’m in great form and ready to help the team,” he added.
Rodrygo also emphasized that his focus isn’t just on City, saying, “I aim to be decisive not just against them but in every game.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
