If you had to pick one player from Real Madrid‘s playing XI for his performance against Manchester City, it has to be Rodrygo! The Brazilian put on an absolute showcase in the first leg of the Champions League clash against the reigning champions. The twenty-three-year-old bagged a stunning solo goal against the Cityzens last week and wrapped it up by pulling off the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Siuu’ celebration. While fans were amazed by his goal, it seems like his celebration has caught the eye of one, Elma Aveiro.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister took to her Instagram handle to share Rodrygo’s message on her stories, further captioning it with a two-word response. The Real Madrid star, following the game, opened up on his admiration for the Al Nassr skipper claiming he has always considered the Madridista his hero. Rodrygo stated, “Celebrating like Cristiano Ronaldo? I always watch his videos. I watch him before the match too to inspire me, as I always say, he is my role model. He is my hero.”

Elma was quite impressed with the reasoning as she penned a two-word response to the message, adding, “For all.” 

With Rodrygo putting on a sublime performance against Manchester City, Los Blancos fans will expect the same from him during the second leg. The Spanish side will travel to the Etihad as they face City in the second leg of the UCL quarterfinals. The game is poised at 3-3 and the winner will book their ticket to the semifinals where they will face the winner of the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich clash.

Real Madrid searching for their second Champions League title after Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit

Los Blancos had a stunning run in the Champions League during Cristiano Ronaldo’s stint at Santiago Bernabeu. Madrid made history during 2015-18 clinching the title for three consecutive seasons. However, things haven’t worked out well for one of Europe’s finest after Cristiano’s departure. The side has got their hands on the title just twice in the last six seasons. Madrid’s last win came in 2022, when they defeated Liverpool to lift the trophy.

The side failed to make it to the finals last season after Manchester City knocked them out in the semifinals. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will look for payback during the upcoming week as they look to secure a semifinal berth. However, beating the reigning treble winners at home will not be as easy as it sounds. Pep Guardiola’s side has been undefeated at home in their last 36 Champions League fixtures, turning the Etihad into a fortress!
