Rodri picks PSG over his first Clásico vs Real Madrid

Rodri made his preference clear in a lengthy interview on the radio show El Partizado. Asked to choose between the Champions League clash with Paris Saint Germain and his first Clásico against Real Madrid, the Manchester City star said he’d rather have the PSG game first, as reported by L'Équipe.

Champions test first

The conversation focused on which “big match” he was most looking forward to. Rodri’s answer put the European tie ahead of the domestic showdown, even though the Clásico is already circled on his calendar.

Adapting to Flick

He also talked about how his adjustment has gone under Hansi Flick at Barcelona, explaining that the transition wasn’t smooth and that he faced difficulties in adapting to the coach’s approach.

Finally, Rodri touched on other topics: the Ballon d’Or and the interest that has at times been linked to Real Madrid, according to L'Équipe’s account of the interview.
