Manchester City’s Champions League hero Rodri has criticised his performance against Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday.
The Spain international scored the winner in the 68th minute as Manchester City won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.
They defeated Inter Milan by a score of 1-0 at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul and despite rising up as an unlikely hero, the defensive midfielder was far from impressed with his performance on the night.
Speaking after the game, the former Atletico Madrid midfielder said, “It was an unbelievable effort from everyone.
“I wasn’t good in the first half, I was playing s*** to be honest, and then this shows the mentality to overcome the situation in the end. I scored a goal, unbelievable.”
Speaking further on the victory, he added, “I’m emotional. This is a dream come true. All these guys [the fans] around here, waited I don’t know how many years – 20, 30, 40. I’ve been here just four but we deserve it. The last few years we were so close, it is a dream for all of us.
“I think we made history, but the good thing is that we want more. This group has more ambition, but this is a dream we have to enjoy because these moments never happen again. Of course we hope next year, it is so difficult, but we deserve to celebrate.”
