Let's not lie to ourselves. Rodri not renewing his contract is becoming a real possibility. It's a hard reality for City fans to accept, but with just one year left on his deal and Real Madrid constantly linked, the uncertainty continues to grow.
This is what Rodri had to say about his future at City: "With a World Cup ahead, my responsibility is to stay focused... Anything related to my future will wait until after the World Cup."
He could actually leave for free next year.
What are your thoughts on this?
๐ช๐ธ๐ซ๐ท Rodri's Spain vs Cherki's France is a fascinating tactical battle because both teams have exactly what it takes to eliminate the other.
Spain will try to dominate possession, control the tempo and patiently build from the back. If they succeed, they can suffocate France and create chances through their movement and technical quality.
France, on the other hand, don't need the ball for long periods. They're at their most dangerous when they win possession and attack at speed. Give them space in transition, and they'll punish you in seconds with their pace and precision.
The team that imposes its style will probably reach the final. If Spain control the game, France could struggle. But if France repeatedly break through Spain's press and exploit transitions, Spain could be in serious trouble. This has all the ingredients of a classic.
