Football fans were left stunned after Manchester City midfielder Rodri made a fiery post-match statement following his team’s intense clash with Liverpool. The Spanish star, known for his dominance in Pep Guardiola’s midfield, is now at the center of controversy after an incident with a Liverpool player at full-time—and he’s threatening to take the issue to FIFA.
After the final whistle, Rodri confronted a Liverpool player over what he considered an act of blatant disrespect. Clearly frustrated, he didn’t hold back in his reaction: “This won’t make him a Ballon d’Or winner! At least I have that for now, and I deserve respect from him.” His words have sparked widespread speculation about what actually took place.
Did the Liverpool player provoke Rodri with a gesture, a verbal exchange, or something even more controversial? Reports vary, with some suggesting taunting was involved, while others believe it was an intense confrontation that went too far.
Rodri isn’t backing down, and he now reportedly plans to escalate the matter to FIFA. If he follows through, this could lead to potential consequences for the Liverpool player, including a fine, suspension, or even a larger investigation.
This latest controversy only adds fuel to the already fierce rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool. Fans are now eagerly awaiting official updates—will Rodri officially file a complaint? Will FIFA take action? And which Liverpool player is at the center of the drama?
