Rodri’s knock opens the door—but no warm-up!

When Rodri felt that hamstring twinge in Brentford’s 1-0 defeat, Nico Gonzalez barely had time to tie his boots before jumping in. Pep Guardiola praised his effort, even after that soft penalty at Monaco, insisting he’s learning fast.

Let’s be honest—replacing Rodri mid-game is like swapping batteries on a rocket in flight: brave, messy, but somehow City still soar.
