Manchester City star Rodri reveals what he told Alvaro Morata after winning the Ballon d’Or: ‘Even without social media…’
Spain and Manchester City star Rodri won the 2024 Ballon d’Or after triumphing in the Premier League with his club and in the Euros with his national team.
The 28-year-old had also scored the winner in the 2023 Champions League Final, allowing Manchester City to beat Serie A giants Inter.
Rodri reveals message to Milan star Morata after Ballon d’Or victory
During his latest interview with Cadena Cope, the talented midfielder revealed what he told Milan star Morata after winning the Ballon d’Or last month.
“He [Morata] was like: ‘Man, you are dumb, if you had social media, you would have won the Ballon d’Or already.’
“So, the first thing I wrote him was: ‘Did you see? Ballon d’Or even without social media.”
Rodri has no X or Instagram accounts but didn’t need social media to win the most prestigious individual award in football.
Morata captained Spain during the latest Euros and praised Rodri in a recent interview with The Athletic.
The Rossoneri striker currently is out of action after suffering a head injury during a Milan training session last week.
Morata joined Milan in a €13m deal from Atletico Madrid last summer and has scored three goals in 12 appearances across all competitions with the Serie A giants this term.
His contract at the Stadio Meazza runs out in June 2028.
