While Real Madrid's magnificent triumph over the English champions in the last 16 of the Champions League is being celebrated, Kylian Mbappe, the hat-trick scorer at the Bernabeu against Manchester City (3:1), has been named player of the week in the elite competition, players from the Spanish champions have a different opinion.
"Rodrigo has made a huge difference and I don't understand why he is so underrated. In my opinion, he is the most talented and gifted player on the team. When I watch him handle the ball, his tricks, his dribbling..., I just think - how!? If I tried any of that, I would immediately injure my ankle," said the brilliant Englishman and added:
"He may be less noticed because he sacrifices the most for the team and never complains, he just does the job. His favorite position is on the left flank, on the right wing he does a great defensive job, although it's not his favorite role," Bellingham said.
Mbappe also emphasizes the Brazilian's huge role.
"We like the name 'Fantastic Four', after the Marvel Comics superhero team. I think we're playing very well. The foursome is Vinicius Junior, Bellingham, Rodrigo and me. Every day we play and collaborate better, we sacrifice ourselves for the other, which is what coach Carlo Ancelotti wants from us," Mbappe said.
