Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has thrown his full support behind midfield maestro Rodri, tipping him to shine on the biggest stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Spain.
Speaking on his star player’s journey, Pep admitted the current campaign is about patience and recovery:
“This season, it will be about how you handle it, step by step. It’s normal. For one year, he’s been on the massage table. The body changes, the rhythm changes…”
But Guardiola made no secret of his confidence in the long-term picture:
“Next season, he will be the best Rodri. And at the 2026 World Cup, he will be very good with Spain.”
With Spain already seen as one of Europe’s powerhouses, Pep’s prediction only fuels excitement about Rodri leading La Roja’s midfield charge in North America.
