Rodri described his growth at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, including how to play the defensive midfield position by himself.

"I think it's a big challenge for me because I never used to play this position particularly. I didn't have this exact role in the team. We have lots of offensive players and many other teams try to counterattack you and a lot of the time you're alone but it's good for me. I am learning new things, how to go, when to stay, when I have to do a tactical foul, when I have to jump. It's good for me to learn these things. And for the team it's good because we need those offensive players to be able to play our game," said Rodri.

Rodri then named Liverpool as the best team in Europe.

"But the team to beat is Liverpool now and that has been seen the last two seasons. They are the champions of Europe so everyone wants to beat them, not just us. They're a great team, they have improved a lot of things, they're a very good team, and they're the best team in England and in Europe."
