At a recent press conference, Atlético Madrid midfielder Rodrigo de Paul praised Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes following their latest encounter. Despite Atlético not achieving the desired result, de Paul was impressed by Rodrygo’s performance.
“Although the result wasn’t what we expected, he impressed me last night,” de Paul said, acknowledging the Brazilian forward’s impact. Rodrygo has been a key player for Real Madrid, recently scoring his 50th goal for the club in a match against Girona, highlighting his growing influence.
De Paul’s comments reflect the mutual respect among elite footballers, even in intense rivalries. His recognition of Rodrygo’s talent further cements the young forward’s rising status in European football.
