Rodrygo has ascended to Real Madrid’s elite following an outstanding performance against Cadiz, achieving a feat matched only by Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite facing online racial abuse, the Brazilian showcased resilience on the field, scoring a remarkable solo goal and displaying impressive dribbling skills. With his contribution to Jude Bellingham’s goal, Rodrygo’s performance propelled Madrid to the top of the league, surpassing Girona.
Remarkably, Rodrygo has now been involved in at least three goals in his last two consecutive league matches, following his stellar performance against Valencia on November 11. This accomplishment places him among a select group of Real Madrid players in the 21st century, alongside Gonzalo Higuain (once) and Cristiano Ronaldo (seven times).
The 22-year-old’s recent form is a stark contrast to his slow start to the season, where he recorded just two goal contributions in his initial 12 league appearances.
