Addressed with Rodrygo's brilliant performance against Inter Milan, Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, pointed out:

“We played with more width once Rodrygo came on. We looked for solutions on the outside. I was impressed with the performance because the team really had to dig in, stay compact. This team not only has quality, it shows real commitment and that's hugely important. The clean sheet helps our confidence from a defensive standpoint. All four of them at the back did brilliantly. Sometimes you have to switch it up to press the winger and they did that really well.

I've already spoken to the players, but it's always the way that the guys who come on can decide the game. I've told Rodrygo it's not important how many minutes he plays, but how he plays them. Rodrygo played a crucial role tonight, not just with the goal but because of how he helped out, he did a lot of defensive running and I was pleased with his display. He can have a key role to play. Sometimes he might play from the start and others he can come on and be decisive".
