The inside track on the football stories that matter
Raphinha has seemingly hit out at Man City midfielder Rodri after his recent interview regarding the Ballon d’Or controversy., Rodri, 28, shared his thoughts on edging out Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior to claim football’s most prestigious individual honour.“I think Vini is a smart guy and with time he will realize that the more you pay attention on the field, the better you will be. Athletes are not just what they represent on the field, but also off it.
Rodri has received a huge backlash for his comments, with Neymar taking to Instagram to call him out for being a “talker” as the fall-out from the vote intensifies. The defensive midfielder has plenty of time on his hands after being ruled out for the rest of the season, having torn his ACL in City’s 2-2 Premier League draw with Arsenal.The 27-year-old is in the form of his life under new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, scoring eight goals and providing six assists in 14 La Liga appearances.
