Pep Guardiola broke down in tears in Press Season Conference after Key Manchester City player has been injured during the International Final Yesterday between Spain Vs England
Rodri suffers possible Euro 2024 final injury, as Manchester City watch in concern.
Rodri, a Manchester City midfielder, was removed by Spain at halftime of the Euro 2024 final due to an injury, giving Manchester City further cause for concern.
The City contingent competing in Sunday’s showpiece in Berlin was sizable, with the most of them representing England and Rodri being the only player of Pep Guardiola’s side to suit up for the opposition. After an unremarkable first half, the 28-year-old did not emerge from the tunnel.
Instead, Luis de la Fuente declared his replacement, and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi replaced him in the match. Given the defensive midfielder’s significance to both club and nation, this came as a great shock.
Rodri felt his left hamstring within the first 45 minutes. Later, he appeared in the middle of the action, hunched over in discomfort, before Jude Bellingham inquired about his well-being.
On his way into the tunnel during the break, the City man was met by a doctor from the Spanish squad. He had his face in his hands, obviously aware that he would be unable to continue, while Three Lions star Jordan Pickford watched on.
Any chances England had of capitalizing on his absence from the game were shattered when Nico Williams scored two minutes after the restart to give Spain a 1-0 lead. Of the past 15 matches he had started for his country, they had won 14 – 12 in normal time, once in extra time, and once in a penalty shootout.
