**Manchester City:** “To be honest, we knew they were better. **For me, they are the best team in the world, playing the best football**. I think the toughest opponent is already out, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy to win the final now. It was very difficult against Bayern, and it will be very difficult against Borussia too.”
**Final:** “They say that Real Madrid never loses finals, and I hope it will be the same again. I’ve always seen Madrid win all the finals, and I hope that continues. I always say a final is 50-50. Of course, because it’s Madrid, we’re always seen as favorites, but for me, it’s still 50-50.”
**Opponent:** “I think the toughest opponent is already out (referring to Manchester City), but that doesn’t mean it will be easy to win the final now. It was very difficult against Bayern, and it will be very difficult against Borussia too. On a scale of one to ten, my excitement to win this Champions League is a thousand.”
**The Veterans:** “The veteran teammates are crazy. Nacho, Modric, Carvajal… They’ve been here for many years and still want to win like the first day. We have this feeling that they are passing the baton to us. Well, we feel it and they also tell us. I think they are preparing us, but at the same time, we are already part of that legend too. Real Madrid is a legendary club with everything it has conquered, and I think our time is coming to take the lead.”
**Kroos’ Retirement:** “We are all very sad in the locker room. Sad because he is going to leave football, and we won’t see him play anymore. It’s a sad news, but also a happy one, for everything we have enjoyed with him. Even more so for me, because I played with him and we won a Champions League together.”
**Zidane’s Era:** “When I first entered the locker room, I thought I would meet the players, but no. The first person I saw was Zidane, and I got a big scare. I remember trembling a bit when I greeted him.”
Even carlo said its the best team but people mad at rodrygo saying this and want him out😭😭😭
They are a strong squad no shame in accepting that.But we are real even at our average we can beat elite squads.
Father heaps praises on son, more news at 8.
There is nothing wrong with him saying City are the best team. I agree that City are the most dominant team in the world right now, and they have the deepest squad (although they acquired their squad at an unfair advantage which really irks me).
All that being said, Ancelotti executed his plan well at City to nullify them and we got through. That’s all that matters.
Bro forgot to include ‘after Real Madrid’
I think this guy is going to have a visit after the final by Florentino.
***”To be honest, we knew they were better. For me, they are the best team in the world, the one that plays the best football.

Everyone knows that on paper they are the best team of the world, that’s why they were the favourites to win the UCL for fans, betting companies and what not..
And nobody would have blink an eye if he said that Manchester City plays the best football. Other Real Madrid players already said that and nobody got mad.
But did he really need to include the sentence **”*****they are the best team in the world”****.* Some of you will blame the media again but Rodrygo isn’t a dumb kid, he is smart so I bet he knows what he is saying and how this can be taken. Someone in the club should ask him:
Why Rodrygo, why?
Do you ever see a Barcelona player saying we are the best team of the world even when they know we are?
Did you ever see Kroos, Modric, Casemiro or Karim saying ManCity is the best team in the world when we knocked them out from UCL thanks to some miracle?
What do you need Rodrygo? What do you want?
Well, he is basically right in saying that, City were the defending champions when we faced them and they are indeed a scary team. Maybe he was also being modest, players usually don’t hype themselves or their team up, they do their job on the field and let othere praise them. I have a feeling him or Fede will score in the final, fingers crossed!
FloPer, please make Rodrygo’s dream come true and as soon as a good offer comes, let him play in the best team in the world.
My man own that club…
This hurts even more as someone who has always defended Rodrygo since the beginning, always calling him the real starboy of the club and giving him way more leverage than other players during bad patches of form.
He better score in the final and kiss the badge to redeem himself
Meh, I feel like this is looking to create clicks and views. Programs like El Chiringuito will run with this and have a field day since they’re looking for summer transfer content and drama.
I’m loyal to Rodrygo as he’s shown time and time again that he’s loyal to our club.
The dude is an idiot
Someone take the mic from this guy lmao
It’s so dumb to say that before final
Better team of the season but we are best club of the century
It’s was clear after the game but Real Madrid won and that’s the important part. Unless you are ultra Madrid fan it’s clear that man city played the best football and It’s probably the club i hate most in my life . I hope they get relegated to 4th division after the sentences, but I complete Agree with Rodrygo.
GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT RODRYGO THE BEST TEAM IS THE ONE THAT WINS
I mean he’s not wrong, but we are REAL MADRID
Don’t hate my boy, he says this only to score against them in every match.
First time he says something stupid on DAZN “its been taken out of context”
Next day he does another interview in Brazil and says basically the same but adding “if i leave Real Madrid id like to go to the Premier League”.
And now he says this?
Players dont do this by mistake. Knowing his first interview already made madridistas raise our collective brows, he does it twice in the next days? He wants out .
I wouldnt even be mad at him had he waited until next week week, but a couple days before the final this is disrespectful to the club. If we win we’ll still have to hear that “the best team doesnt always win the UCL, even Rodrygo admits It”.
People saying this isn’t a big deal can go fuck themselves, this is Real Madrid our players just dont say that shit.
Didn’t they sign Savio from Girona? Rodrygo is putting himself in the market again, but then his entourage will come out and say he wants to stay. Florentino will tell Rodrygo what he told Cristiano, Casemiro, Di Maria the list goes on come here with an offer, and you are free to go.
Nothing wrong with being honest. City were the favorites to win it again but Carlos plan went well for us in the end
Tic toc tic toc
Rodrygo has started the clock
It’s not wrong to say this per se. It is a valid opinion. But saying this just before a final is so unnecessary and wrong imo.
i disagree with this idea that city is “better” just because they are more “dominant”
Yes their play style, specially in big matches is almost ruthless, they will fucking kill you most of the time. However, the reason why I think Madrid is better is our adaptability. In contrast, city play in a way in which every player is a robot that does an specific set of functions really well, ancelotti takes a freedom approach and that leads to players playing well in all sections of the field, and that’s why we adapt to the play style of our opponents.
City will dominate but we defend and counter attack. In three years we beat them twice, with we playing better at Bernabeu, and them “dominating” at etihad. Given that, are they really the better team?
Nah. Rodrygo WTF are you doing. You’re digging your own grave.
If anyone is mad at this then you dont deserve to be a madridista. They acknowledged their weaknesses and adapted to raise victorious against a stronger opponent.
Had we tried to fight fire with fire we wouldn’t be in the final right now. The hero always has less HP than the final boss doesn’t he?
This is why he is RM and why we are the biggest club in the world.
Yet they have won 1/3 of titles this season.
I mean, I get it, they have a deep squad with many elite players, and play a really great football. They are pretty well balanced, their performance makes them super dominant, and they are strong in basically all areas. So, not that Rodrygo lied or something.
But I just can’t take this sort of opinion like that. Pretending that Man City haven’t been cheating their asses off at a financial level is stupid. They just have everything money could buy, for years. Yeah, respect on the pitch is something I love to see, but… we all know how that club has been spending gazillions even on substitutes for years and years now. This is why I have a hard time respecting Manchester City. Well, that plus the Guardiola Church still claiming he’s the best coach to ever exist lol.
its the same trick pep does when he says that we are the better team
If Rodrygo wanted to stay at Madrid, he didn’t do himself a favor with saying this
Bring 100m+ after the CL final and bounce. I was getting really tired of this Asensio 2.0 during the season, imagine now. He probably knows in a fair world he barely plays next season with the stacked attack we have.
He should’ve had 40+ G/A this season considering how much he played, yet he kept being a pecho frio and shot straight at the GK over and over.
Does anyone think this is not true?
Everyone knows man city is better.
Doesnt mean real madrid dont deserve the success.
Football isnt about the best otherwise every game could be played in excel
150 million and will bring him myself to Guardiola’s backyard ✅
This is a world class star that has teams around him 24/7. He knows what he said. I can’t blame him, he just doesn’t click at Madrid. He shows flashes of brilliance but the marathon is lost in him.
I hope he has a great career, but with the last few interviews (and back to back too, WTF dude??) it’s pretty obvious what’s going on.
Or if you’d prefer, you can hide your head in the sand – it’s not going to change anything.
in football whomever win is the best, history doesn’t remember losers
Even if he thinks that and even if its true which is debatable since RM beat em and reach a final which on itself means RM is the better team.
You dont go around saying that, sends a wring message.
This season? Arsenal bottled the league yet again. FA cup they got embarrassed by Man United for fucks sake 😂 I hope Rodrygo starts and scores in the final for his mental sake. BUT if he can’t handle the pressure of Brahim, Joselu, Arda and Endrick showing out next season while he yet again struggles for regularity he should ask to leave
If you say they’re this amazing, incredible team it’s ok. It says you respect them and it also shows you’re at least at the same level if not higher. If you say outright they’re better, it just makes you look weak and lucky you won
Real Madrid are an (almost) unstoppable cup team. Incredible resilience and team ethic, everyone working hard for each other and this current squad manage their egos very well. When it’s all on the line they come closest to reaching their ceiling of any team. They’ll be very hard to stop on Saturday. And I remember well their last European final defeat against Aberdeen in 1983. What a night that was.
They are the current Champions. Changes after the 1st.
This is gonna upset a lot of Americans lol

They **were** the best in the world, not anymore. They haven’t beat any top rival this season. Apart from that, they really play boring football. Passing sideways to keep the ball at all cost. Why? Because they are scared and don’t know what to do without it. They avoid dribbling, shooting from difficult angles etc. Guardiola has completely castrated them so they can only play a robotic football. Oh, how panicked they were every time Vinicius or Rodrygo had the ball.
