Rodrygo of Real Madrid is now seen as a royal player after his great game against Cadiz, which was coached by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cadiz didn’t seem to bother Rodrygo. He got his first goal by himself in a beautiful way, and for his second, he showed off his moving skills. The 22-year-old set up the third goal for Jude Bellingham. This put Madrid ahead of Girona and set a club record for Rodrygo.
In each of his last two league games, the Brazil star has helped set up at least three goals. Against Valencia on November 11, he scored two goals and set up two more. Opta says Rodrygo is one of only three Real Madrid stars in the 2000s to have done this. Ronaldo, who now plays forward for Al-Nassr, did it an amazing seven times. Gonzalo Higuain did it once.
It’s a big change from the beginning of the season, but Rodrygo has helped set up seven goals in his last two La Liga games. He had only scored two goals in his first 12 league games.
The forward from Brazil will play in Europe on Wednesday when Real Madrid plays Napoli. This comes after a busy week for both clubs and countries. Real Madrid has already made it to the next round of the Champions League after four straight wins. A tie will be enough for them to win their group and move on.
