"Man City are the best team in the world and play the best football"

Rodrygo Goes acknowledged that Manchester City ‘are the best team in the world, the team that plays the best football’. Against City, Rodrygo scored the magical night of his career, the brace in less than two minutes with time running out that propelled the comeback Champions League winner two years ago. "It was very special, definitely the best moment of my career and the happiest day as well," he said. 

"I think for many Madridistas it was also the happiest day of their lives. I always say that I don't know how to explain what happened, I don't have any explanation, I just felt it was something very special," he said in an interview with “GQ Magazine”.

After causing controversy with a comment at the Media Day ahead of the Champions League final claiming that ‘anything can happen’ next season with the arrival of stiff competition up front, Rodrygo, in a new interview, praised Guardiola's Manchester City.  "To be honest, we knew they were better. For me they are the best team in the world, they play the best football," Rodrygo said. 

"I think the most difficult opponent is gone, but that doesn't mean it will be easy to win the final. With Bayern it was very difficult and with Borussia it will be very difficult too,’"he added. 

"From 1 to 10, my illusion to win this Champions League is 1000. It is said that Real Madrid never lose finals and I hope it will be like that again. I've always seen them win every final and I hope it continues," said the Brazilian striker.

On the great comeback nights: "I think a lot of people get angry about these things, but the fans enjoy it a lot. The truth is that it's special to experience this kind of thing, to be losing a game and always have the feeling that you can come back and win.  As I said, these are things that only happen at the Bernabeu, they only happen with Real Madrid".
