Brazil and Barcelona legend Rivaldo has said that the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior should not be seen as better players than Rodrygo.
According to him, they are all on the same level, adding that it would be wrong for the press or anyone to see the 23-year-old attacker as inferior to the other stars.
Kylian Mbappe joined the club on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer and has stolen attention in the Spanish capital city.
Rodrygo has somewhat gone under the radar and several reports have suggested that the Brazilian could leave next year.
Rivaldo told BetFair (via AS): “He has every reason to complain and give the press and people who only talk about the three of them, about Mbappe, Bellingham, and Vinicius, a lot of reasons to complain.
“Rodrygo is a very important player at Real Madrid and he shouldn’t fall behind any of his attacking teammates. Rodrygo is on the same level as Mbappe, Bellingham, or Vinicius. He has every reason to talk about it as he is on their level.
“He is a forward who has been making a difference at a club like Real Madrid for years. And not talking about his importance seems to me to be a great injustice.
“Of course, when you talk about Real Madrid, you always want the players to be motivated and attract attention, but Rodrygo has nothing to detract from his teammates.”
