Rodrygo Shines on His Birthday and Sets Sights on The Final Against Barcelona
Rodrygo Goes celebrated a very special day with his goal that sealed Real Madrid's 3-0 victory over RCD Mallorca in the Supercopa de España semifinals. The Brazilian forward scored in added time, right on his 24th birthday, and expressed his happiness for the win and his goal. "It's a very special day, I'm very happy for the victory, for another goal with this shirt, and for my birthday," he said after the match.
However, his goal wasn't the only thing that marked the final moments of the match. After the goal, there were several scuffles between players from both teams. Rodrygo clarified that he wasn't aware of much that happened, as he focused on celebrating his goal, thanking Lucas Vázquez for the assist. "I don't know much about what happened, I just focused on my goal and I thank Lucas for the assist. I was celebrating my goal," the Brazilian commented.
The attacker also referred to the attitude of the Mallorca players, who always give their all in every match against Real Madrid. Despite the altercations, Rodrygo avoided going into details about the incident, focusing on the positives. "Against Madrid, they always try to give their best, and it's normal that these things happen, but it's not for me to talk about it. I'm happy for the victory and the goal. Let's move on," he added.
Rodrygo took the opportunity to praise Jude Bellingham, who opened the scoring for the Madrid team. The Brazilian highlighted the excellent form of the English player, who, despite a tough start to the season, has remained consistent and contributed to the team. "Jude is doing very well, as always. At the start of the season, it was a bit difficult for him to score, but he's always kept his head up, training to improve, and all of his hard work is paying off," Rodrygo said about his teammate.
Finally, Rodrygo is already focused on the upcoming final against FC Barcelona this Sunday. Despite the classic being a challenging match, the Brazilian assured that the team is prepared to face the challenge. "It will be a difficult match, as always against Barcelona, but we are prepared. We are in good form, and we want to win the first title of 2025," the forward concluded, making it clear that Real Madrid will go all out for the trophy.
