Rodrigo has won the Ballon d'Or and in doing so becomes the first Manchester City player to claim the coveted honour.
The Spaniard has developed into a pivotal figure in Pep Guardiola's incredible side, who earned a record breaking fourth successive English top-flight title last season.
His impact on our team, as well as his role as the driving force behind Spain's Euro 2024 success, was recognised at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on Monday evening.
The midfielder has been at the heart of our success since joining City in 2019 – acting as Guardiola's chief lieutenant on the pitch in and out of possession from the base of midfield.
An immovable object and imposing presence defensively, the 28-year-old is also a key cog in every attack and a creative outlet in the final third.
He has also acquired a knack for scoring goals at crucial moments, not least his Champions League winning strike in Istanbul in June 2023 that will be remembered forever.
2023/24 was his most productive season at the top end of the pitch, scoring nine times and contributing 14 assists.
