Rodrygo scored a brace in Real Madrid's 2-0 against Athletic Bilbao, and after the game, he gave his thoughts on the Mbappé rumors. Rodrygo said, "Mbappé to Real? I think it’s close as it’s what journalists say, I trust you guys! But I don’t know what’s going on. If Mbappé comes, I will be benched? It will be an happy problem for the manager. I’m only focused on Real Madrid”.
