Rodri discusses Barcelona goals and his midfield pairing with Pedri

Midfielder Rodri addressed his move to Barcelona and his developing partnership with Pedri following a strong start to the campaign. Barcelona opened their Champions League run with a 5-1 win over Feyenoord, a result Rodri pointed to as evidence of the team's attacking intent. Despite the explosive start, he cautioned that the squad cannot expect to score five goals in every match and must maintain consistency over a long season. Addressing questions about his tactical fit with Pedri, Rodri stated that the two players understand each other well and have adapted to the roles required by manager Hansi. Rodri cited the ambition within the dressing room to reclaim the European trophy as a primary motivation for his transfer to the club. He remains focused on helping the team progress while adjusting to his new environment.
