The Spaniard had a massive contribution to Manchester City's game with a stunning opening goal from outside the box.

The moment when a player scores his first goal in the UEFA Champions League is always special, but Manchester City's Rodri made it even more special with such a classy finish.

The Spanish midfielder gave the lead to Pep Guardiola's team with a stunning left-footed shot from outside the box, which came after a dribble past Jamal Musiala and with Joshua Kimmich turning around to avoid getting hit by the ball.

Rodri, who was left out of the UEFA CL final Pep Guardiola lost to Thomas Tuchel in 2021, rewarded his coach's trust tonight with a shot that will be remembered for a very long time by Manchester City's supporters, and has already turned into a candidate to win the Goal of the Tournament award for the difficulty of the shot and for the outcome of the action.
