When asked about his pick for the greatest of all time, Rodri surprised many with his unconventional choice.
Rodri names the greatest of all time
In an interview with GOAL, the 28-year-old was asked to name his pick for the greatest player of all time and chose his Manchester City teammate, Kevin De Bruyne.
This sentiment is shared by several of his current teammates, including Jack Grealish, who in a previous interview emphasised the ‘greatness’ of the Belgian midfielder.
De Bruyne has consistently proven to be reliable in crucial moments, with his recent brilliant cameo against Newcastle United being a prime example.
The Manchester City captain will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the greatest of all time, particularly when it comes to midfielders.
According to data from FotMob, De Bruyne has been involved in over 250 goals during his 10 seasons at the Etihad Stadium.
Messi picks 2024 Ballon d'Or favourites
Briefly News in another report detailed Messi has named Vinicius and Mbappe among the frontrunners for the 2024 Ballon d’Or award but has excluded Jude Bellingham from the race.
The England midfielder, who had a stellar debut season with Real Madrid, is expected to provide stiff competition to whoever is in the running for the prize.
The Ballon d’Or, which both Ronaldo and Messi have largely dominated over the last decade, saw the Argentina captain add another to his record-extending accolade following his triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
