Future role unclear Rodrygo recorded 28 stats in 34 appearances in La Liga during the 2023/24 season with Los Blancos.

In league play, he scored 10 goals with 5 assists. In 13 UCL games, he scored 5 goals with 2 assists. With Kylian Mbappe joining the club, Rodrygo's role is uncertain, especially after signing a long-term contract with Real Madrid last year.

Impact Rodrygo was held out from Friday's contest after picking up an illness midweek but is now set to return for the all-important first leg of their UCL semifinal.

This gave the attacker his fourth goal in the UCL this season, now having six goal contributions. Although he only registered two shots and one chance created outside of his goal, he should still be a player to keep an eye on in the second leg, as he is always a dangerous threat just one move away from a goal contribution when facing City.
