Barcelona midfielder Rodri was a happy man after seeing his team beat Sevilla 3-1 on Saturday to maintain their perfect start to the season.
Sevilla took the lead in the game but Barcelona hit back and took all three points thanks to a Raphinha hat-trick.
Rodri spoke to the media after the game and highlighted the three players he feels deserve credit after the win. He said: “For me, today Rapha was outstanding, Lamine was also very good, and Adeyemi, I really liked how he came on in the second half.”
The Spain star went on to say: “We’re not going to lose our rhythm, we’re going to keep competing. We need to keep in mind that these are important matches and come back in the best possible shape.”
Rodri also had praise for Gerard Martin after he replaced Andreas Christensen due to injury, saying: “Gerard Martín has been sensational. Such a shame about Christensen’s injury.”
While Rodri was impressed with his team-mates, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick had some generous words for the Spain star: “Rodri is a great player, both with and without the ball. He controls everything and gives us composure in our positional play. I think he connects well with Pedri and the center-backs. Overall, I think we can be happy with what we did.”
Barca will now take a break after a sensational start to the season. They return to action on October 10th against Getafe.
