Real Madrid faced Barcelona in Matchday 35 of La Liga, but Rodrygo did not make an appearance on the pitch. Now, the reason behind his absence has come to light.
Details: According to Marca, the Brazilian himself refused to take part in the game. He told Carlo Ancelotti that throughout the week he felt neither the necessary energy nor the right mental state to play. Nevertheless, the head coach included him in the matchday squad to avoid unnecessary questions.
In the previous match, Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 3-4. That result virtually ended Los Blancos’ title hopes. With three rounds left in La Liga, Madrid trail the Catalans by seven points.
Reminder: Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior was once again at the center of controversy after getting into a heated exchange with a Barcelona supporter during El Clásico. Cameras captured the verbal clash between the Brazilian and the Catalan fan.
