So what if they were teammates for six years at Manchester City? Rodri, watching Bernardo Silva miss Portugal’s last chance in the World Cup and seeing Spain’s 1-0 lead hold, he tauntingly celebrated right in front of him.

“I apologize to Bernardo Silva for my excessive reaction during that final play. I was wrong; I should have been calmer at a time when he was upset. It’s my responsibility, and I apologized immediately. I believe that’s where it ended, because we have trust between us and a relationship that goes back many years,” said the player who won the Ballon d’Or in 2024.
