Rodri is now being spoken as an outside contender to win the Ballon d’Or award.
“When I saw Spain I saw him and he was the level he has been playing for many years. His consistency was good. Rodri, Aymeric Laporte, Ferran... they were together and I am happy for them,” Guardiola declared.
“There are a few candidates for the Ballon d’Or. Real Madrid, Manchester City… I can’t deny how happy he would be.
“To be in the race is fantastic for him, his family, friends and of course Manchester City. We are so proud.”
