Real Madrid Confidencial Fabrizio Romano declares Rodrygo's time at Madrid over, very forceful.
Shocking message from the journalist, Rodrygo has a very complicated future
Ancelotti met expectations with his starting eleven and put Arda Güler as the big surprise. The young Turk had earned it with the level he showed in recent matches. But that meant there had to be a sacrificed player, and that was none other than Rodrygo Goes.
The Brazilian waited for his moment on the bench, however, it never came, not even in the second half. Needing to attack and score goals, not even when Vinícius had to leave the field injured. Ancelotti brought in Endrick and debuted a youth player like Víctor Muñoz.
The former Santos player didn't step onto the field, and some like Fabrizio Romano have considered it definitive. "Zero minutes for Rodrygo today in the Barcelona-Real Madrid" published the journalist. And he did so alongside a black and white image of the Brazilian footballer.
Amid doubts about Rodrygo's future, this benching in the Clásico has arrived. Moreover, the fact that he didn't play a single minute has been taken by many as definitive. They believe it is the sign that his time at Real Madrid has ended.
Ancelotti has explained the reason for Rodrygo's zero minutes
At the end of the match, in the press conference, Ancelotti was asked if something was wrong with Rodrygo. It was strange that he hadn't warmed up, especially because they needed fresh men up front. But he preferred to debut a youth player rather than put in the Brazilian.
"He didn't warm up because he has recovered but wasn't at the maximum or ideal level to compete" Carletto pointed out. Against Celta, he wasn't there due to a feverish process, and it seems he isn't at his best. That was what he pointed out when questioned if it was a punishment for the former Santos player.
But without a doubt, this benching and the fact that he didn't even warm up is going to be talked about. Especially because the rumors about his future have been intense in recent days. And this fact is not going to quell them, but on the contrary, it will be constant this coming week.
