Manchester City midfielder Rodri recently revealed an unusual story about a meeting he had with former Barcelona star Sergio Busquets

and he has been a driving force behind Manchester City's achievements, winning the Premier League title.   

On the field, he serves as an extension of Guardiola's vision, while off the field, he continues to provide interesting thoughts.  

In a piece for The Players’ Tribune, Rodri opened up about several lesser-known aspects of his career.

One particularly significant moment was his move from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City in 2019.
