Rodrygo, fresh off his return from injury, let his performance do the talking, silencing critics in style. This time, he scored an absolute screamer in the Grand Final of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup against Pachuca, extending Real Madrid’s lead.

The goal came in the 53rd minute, just when the Spanish giants needed to cool down the Mexican side’s momentum. With an incredible solo play, Rodrygo pulled off multiple feints to outsmart the Pachuca defense before curling the ball into the top corner unstoppable for the keeper.

This beauty brought Real Madrid closer to continental glory, solidifying their status as the biggest club in the world. It was the second of the night, following another stunner by Kylian Mbappé, who opened the scoring.
