Rodri, known for his immense influence on the field, has made history as the first-ever Manchester City player to win the Ballon d’Or and Spain’s first winner since 1960.
The Spanish midfielder, Rodrigo Hernández, has consistently been a powerhouse in midfield for both Manchester City and Spain’s national team, recently leading Spain to a European Championship victory.
He entered the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris as a frontrunner, surpassing top contender Vinicius.
Rodri’s role as a midfield anchor is crucial for his team’s success. While he excels defensively, particularly with high-pressure tactics, he is equally valuable in his offensive contributions as a primary playmaker and strategist for City.
His skill in controlling the game’s tempo and orchestrating plays cements him as one of the most pivotal players in modern football.
Rodri’s Remarkable Stats Highlight His Impact
Rodri’s influence becomes even clearer through his impressive stats: since 2023, he has accumulated more trophies with Manchester City and Spain than losses. Over the past year, he’s faced only four defeats, with a striking pattern—every City loss this year coincided with his absence due to injury. This further proves how essential Rodri is to the success of the Cityzens and their ability to secure victories.
With this prestigious win, Rodri not only adds another accolade to his collection but also solidifies his position among the all-time greats in football.
