That's the irony of Madrid. Xabi clearly benched the wrong person. He benched Rodrygo the whole time, but Rodrygo is the one who saving his job. Rodrygo is good, but the problem is his consistency. As long as he can help Rodrygo to sort it out, i think he will score a many goals as he can like what he used to be.

The back to back goals showed how Rodrygo still one of top players, though he always wear his seatbelt since the start of the season. I also tell you if Rodrygo's working rate in the defense is gradually improved, but none aware about that.

Rodrygo has always been a star in this team but I don't know why Xabi does not want to work with him appropriately. He wasted his time trying to make him play on the left and now it's Rodrygo that saves him his job. He deserves a special apology from Xabi. He scored a goal in each of the two games Alonso felt his value and give him a chance to prove himself and he proved he never belong to the bench. The proper formation for Xabi suppose to be Rodrygo on the right and Mbappe on the left. He's not taking Vini place but he should be given adequate play time too.
