Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has named Rodri as the best midfielder in Europe at the moment.
Rodri was fantastic in the middle of the park for City and scored in their 3-1 win over Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League group stage opener.
Rodri was awarded the MVP of the game by UEFA for his English side.
And Guardiola has hailed the Spain International, describing him as the best in Europe.
After the game, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss spoke about the Spaniard saying, “Right now, yeah. He’s the best.
“Hopefully he can be better, he has a good mentality and things to improve but he’s an extraordinary holding midfielder.
“We were lucky the club signed this player and when he arrived he wasn’t this type of player. Of course he played a large amount of games, now he’s one of the captains of the team.
“He’s a fantastic holding midfielder. He’s a top class player, not just that, defensively, offensively, the composure, he reads the spaces, knows exactly when the men are free because he loves to arrive in the final third and dribble and shoot.
“He’s playing really, really well.”
