Rodrygo prioritizes Neymar over celebrations, heads home after Real’s win

The royal club Real Madrid achieved an important victory against Manchester City last night at its legendary Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The 3:1 result in the return match enabled the Spanish team to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League with a total score of 6:3.

Expectations were high, and the fight to advance to the next round promised a spectacle. However, Real Madrid managed to overcome Pep Guardiola's team relatively without much difficulty. Although he did not score a goal, one of the best on the pitch was once again Rodrygo, who once again showed why he is a key player in Real's lineup.

Rodrygo and his dedication to the game

There have been rumors about Rodrygo for some time that he could leave Real Madrid, especially with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, who somewhat changed his position in the team. However, with his great performances, he shows that he has no problem playing in a position that is not his preferred one. His dedication and desire to contribute to the team became obvious, so last night he was a key figure in the victory of his club.

After the match, reporters asked Rodrygo for a statement. Although the Brazilian agreed to speak, he made it clear that he had to leave quickly because he was in a hurry to get home. "I have to go home quickly. Neymar and Santos are playing a game that starts soon. I'm in a hurry to get home," Rodrygo said, referring to his former club and his friend Neymar.

Asked about Neymar's return to Santos, Rodrygo replied: "I watched the previous game when he scored. I'm very happy for him and Santos." In the end, Santos beat Noroeste 3-0 last night, and Neymar, although he didn't score, once again excelled with his dribbling and showed that he is back in top form.

Rodrygo started his career at Santos, and it's no wonder that he always follows his former club's performances. Santos sold Rodrygo to Real in the summer of 2019 for 45 million euros, and his success on the European stage is certainly a source of pride for all fans of the club from Brazil.
