Rodri drops brutal one-word response to question about what separates Manchester City from Arsenal

Manchester City’s defensive midfield star Rodrigo dropped a simple one-word response to a question about what separates himself and his teammates from Arsenal.

The Spanish midfielder completed an unbeaten season for Manchester City on a personal note, failing to end up on the losing side when being selected for action by manager Pep Guardiola across all competitions.

As part of that triumph, Rodri joined his Manchester City teammates in recording a history-defining campaign in the Premier League, claiming the English top-flight crown for a fourth successive season – the first time such a feat has ever been achieved.

“Mentality,” the Spaniard responded. “We have the best players and one of the best generations I’ve seen in Europe but the only way to achieve this is every day. It’s the toughest thing in football to keep winning. We won at Tottenham away and we never won there.”
