Softfootball understands Rodri delivered another midfield masterclass for Spain in their 2–0 win over France, with key areas of his performance standing out throughout the match.
Ice‑cold in possession, perfect positionally, dominating every duel, controlling the entire match from start to finish. Every time Spain needed calmness, composure, or control, Rodri was there dictating the tempo and keeping everything ticking.
He did it against a star‑studded Portugal midfield that included Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, João Neves, and Bernardo Silva, and tonight he did it again against France on the biggest stage.
His reading of the game is simply exceptional. He breaks up attacks, wins second balls, keeps possession under pressure, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Spain’s dominance in midfield starts with him.
