Man City player pleads with Pep Guardiola to omit him from Premier League match against Luton

Rodri, despite having a 65-game unbeaten streak for club and country, struggled in Manchester City’s recent 3-3 draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League. He has spoken to Guardiola about the need for a break to regain his top form and contribute to City’s pursuit of consecutive Trebles. Rodri hopes to be rejuvenated ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid next week. The midfielder emphasized the necessity of rest, acknowledging that everyone, including himself, could perform better but that they all need to rest.

Despite the challenging situation, he praised the team’s resilience in coming from behind to secure a draw in the first leg. Looking ahead to the second leg, Rodri expressed confidence in City’s ability to prevail at home, especially considering their strong performance against Real Madrid in the previous season. He believes that replicating their strong home form and maintaining a strong mentality will be key to advancing to the next round. In conclusion, Rodri believes that City can recreate last year’s result and knock Real Madrid out of Europe for the second season in a row.

He is optimistic about their chances, particularly when playing at their home ground. He is confident that a strong performance, similar to the first 20-30 minutes of the second half in the first leg, will make it difficult for Real Madrid.
