Sports News] Just before the Champions League knockout round match between Real
Madrid and RB Leipzig, Rodrygo, a starting player for Real Madrid, achieved a
significant milestone in his career. He reached his 200th appearance for Real
Madrid and was honored with a commemorative jersey for this achievement. The
jersey featured Rodrygo’s name and the number 200 printed on it. Throughout his
Real Madrid career, Rodrygo has made valuable contributions to the team,
scoring 50 goals and providing 39 assists in previous games. In the Champions
League alone, he has scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists. His performance
has been impressive. Real Madrid recognized Rodrygo’s potential and signed him
on July 1, 2019, for a transfer fee of 45 million euros. Initially, he had to
transition between Real Madrid’s B team, Castilla, and the first team. However,
he quickly established himself as a goal scorer and played a crucial role in
Real Madrid’s success. He won the La Liga championship and the Spanish Super
Cup with the team in the 2019-20 season. In the 2021-22 season, Rodrygo
achieved the “Triple Crown” of La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, and
Champions League with Real Madrid. Currently, he holds a prominent position in
the first team lineup.
