Rodrygo - Page 15 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assists against Liverpool Rodrygo assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 5-2 win versus Liverpool.

Impact Rodrygo was credited with the assist in Real Madrid's fourth goal, as he engaged in a beautiful passing sequence with Karim Benzema before the Frenchman scored, although aided by a deflection on Joe Gomez. The former Santos star has been excellent when given a chance, and it wouldn't be shocking if he remains a regular starter for Los Blancos in the season's final months.

Active outing against Elche Rodrygo had four shots (all on target), created five chances and drew three fouls, including a penalty, during Wednesday's 4-0 win over Elche.

Impact Rodrygo didn't appear on the scoresheet but still was arguably the best man on the pitch, suffering the second penalty converted by Karim Benzema, leading all players in chances created and driving opponents crazy with his combination of speed and skill. With Vinicius Junior (rest) back for Saturday's visit to Osasuna, Rodrygo will probably fight for a starting spot at the right wing.

Records assist off bench Rodrygo subbed into Sunday's match against Athletic Club in the 83rd minute and he assisted a goal in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Rodrygo set up Toni Kroos' late goal Sunday for his fifth assist of the campaign, but he hasn't started a match in La Liga since before the World Cup. Even without starts for the time being, he is still getting consistent minutes off the bench and remains very productive despite the limited action.

Busy off bench Rodrygo recorded four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 1-1 (4-2 on penalties) defeat against Croatia.

Impact Rodrygo came off the bench and was creative during Friday's loss, creating a pair of chances and sending in four crosses. The winger appeared in all five matches at the World Cup, but remained a rotational option throughout, making just one start. Rodrygo will head back to Madrid to try and build on a strong opening 12 appearances, having scored and assisted four times before the World Cup break.

Assists off bench versus Switzerland Rodrygo made an assist and had two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Monday's 1-0 win over Switzerland.

Impact Rodrygo was brought at halftime to replace Lucas Paqueta and made an immediate impact as Brazil became a more dangerous side once he subbed in. And to crown his performance he assisted Casemiro for the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute. Rodrygo has been one of the best players coming off the bench over the first two rounds of this tournament and, regardless of his head coach resting the starters or not, is a strong candidate for making the lineup for Friday's clash against Cameroon.

Takes four shots in loss Rodrygo put four shots off target, created one chance and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Rodrygo had his chances but couldn't get passed an inspired performance by the hosts. Well on pace to a career-best season, Rodrygo has made Brazil's roster for the World Cup but he might not play much with Neymar and Vinicius Junior in the side.

Scores penalty in win Rodrygo scored one penalty goal from five shots (two on goal) and created two chances during Wednesday's 5-1 win over Celtic.

Impact Rodrygo got another start with Karim Benzema only available from the bench and scored for the second time in the last three matches (both coming in UCL). He's now scored seven times and logged five assists in 16 appearances across all competitions. This is exceptional since Karim Benzema hasn't been in perfect form all season and with Vinicius Junior racking up his own high tally in the first half of the season. All three of those mentioned are on track to take good form into the World Cup.

Available despite knock Rodrygo was declared as available for Sunday's match against Girona despite missing Saturday's training session, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Impact Rodrygo has logged two assists and scored one goal over his last three starts, two of which have come with Karim Benzema unavailable yet again. If Rodrygo is fit enough to start, expect him to remain as the central forward since Benzema has already missed the squad list for Sunday's game.

Scores from spot in loss Rodrygo scored one penalty foal from four shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Rodrygo tried to salvage the match but couldn't save his team from their first loss of the season. Much of Rodrygo's role depends on the health of others, but he's now scored six goals and logged four assists in his last 13 appearances, contributing close to three goals for every three appearances. So long as he continues to earn the favor of manager Carlo Ancelotti, Rodrygo is all but certain to end with the best season of his young career.

Takes four shots in win Rodrygo took four shots and created two chances in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Sevilla. He also made two interceptions and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Rodrygo was dangerous on Saturday despite not getting on the scoresheet against Sevilla. He has taken a combined six shots (two on target) with four chances created across his last three appearances -- one of them being a five-minute cameo off the bench -- with a goal and two assists in that span.
