After the international break, Rodrygo made a triumphant return to Real Madrid. The Brazilian was the author of his team’s first two goals on the visit to Cádiz and also assisted Jude Bellingham for the final 3-0. With this victory, the Whites regained the lead in LaLiga, although Girona is one point away with a game in hand.
After his excellent performance at the Nuevo Mirandilla, the Santos-trained player told Real Madrid TV that he did not expect to be a starter since he was suffering from two physical problems: “20 minutes before going out to warm up I was calm, I thought I was going to rest because I wasn’t very well. My knee and a tooth hurt. But it was my turn to play and everything went well.”

Rodrygo, on a streak in Madrid
After a difficult start to the season, with a scoring drought that lasted more than a month, Rodrygo managed to turn the situation around and now enjoys a great present. He directly participated in nine of Madrid’s last 11 goals (5 goals and 4 assists), which allowed him to silence the criticism around him.

The Madrid number 11 was not going to be in the game against Cádiz, but due to Brahim Díaz’s stomach discomfort, Carlo Ancelotti decided to include him in the starting eleven and the Brazilian responded. “I wanted to give him a rest after his long trip with Brazil, but Brahim’s intestinal problem before the game was bad luck,” admitted Carletto, who added that “Rodrygo has once again made the difference.”
