Rodri Injury Fuels Real Madrid Fans’ ‘We Dodged a Bullet’ Reaction
Barcelona’s reported 3-0 Champions League win over Aston Villa was followed by news that Rodri is expected to miss about a month with a hamstring injury. He was reportedly taken off at half-time, with Marc Bernal replacing him. Real Madrid supporters have praised club president Florentino Pérez for not pursuing Rodri, pointing to the midfielder’s previous ACL and meniscus injuries and later muscle problems. Rodri reportedly chose Barcelona in the summer of 2026 after Madrid raised concerns about his fitness. Barcelona will now have to adjust without him ahead of their clash with Atlético Madrid.
