In Rodrygo’s first four months with the Whites, he has already notched six goals and laid on one assist.
The Brazilian made his debut at 18 years of age at the Santiago Bernabéu and it took him only one minute to open his Madridista account when he netted against Osasuna on the 25th of September.

The forward was born in Osasco (Brazil) on the 9th of January 2001 and he’s showing off all his quality up top, including an eye for goal.

Rodrygo’s displays for the Whites saw him make his full Brazil debut back in November, while he was also named in the Champions League breakthrough team of 2019.

The criteria to make the team is, a player must be 24 years of age or younger, and, the player made “[they’re] UEFA Champions League debut in 2019 or only limited prior experience and made a major leap this year.”

Rodrygo and Vinicius have been impressing Real Madrid fans for some time, but Neymar believes that they’ll kick on and reach even greater heights in the future.

“I’ve been with Rodrygo ever since I joined Santos. He was very young and everybody paid attention to him because of how skilled he was dribbling the ball and also his good IQ. His decision making was very obvious but one of the things we enjoyed the most about him was his willingness to improve. This boy is truly a genius,” added Santos’ president.
