Rodrigo may be the best holding midfielder in the world, according to Pep Guardiola, after another great performance against Red Star Belgrade.
To begin our Champions League trophy defense, City defeated the Serbian champions 3-1 thanks to two goals from Julian Alvarez and a third from Rodrigo.
He followed up his game-winning goal from the championship game of the previous season by sidefooting a low shot past Red Star goalkeeper Omri Glazer.
Because of his all-around skill in the middle of the field, Guardiola believes he is the best player in the world at his position.

We think he can do better.
Bernardo Silva, a Portuguese teammate, was substituted before halftime, and Guardiola doesn’t expect him to play Saturday against Nottingham Forest.
He said, “I didn’t speak to the doctor, but apparently he won’t be able to play in the next game.”
De Bruyne, Stones, Kovacic, and Grealish have been injured since the international break.
Guardiola stated, “We have five important players out with injuries.” Though difficult, long-term viability is possible.
35 players would ruin everything and bankrupt the clubs.
John didn’t play, Kevin is gone, Kova may return, and Jack has a week.
“It is. I like to assault all our guys.
