Watch as Man City star Rodri chants ‘Gibraltar is Spanish’ & says ‘I don’t care’ about playing in UK at Euros party

This is the moment Man City star Rodri chanted “Gibraltar is Spanish” at a wild Euros party in Madrid.

The Spanish midfielder, 28, also said he “doesn’t care” about playing in the UK after his country beat England in a 2-1 win on Sunday.

Spain captain Alvaro Morata reminded his teammate that he played in the Premier League, but the Manchester City player was quick to reply: “I don’t care.”

But Rodri’s chants were not well-received by social media, with one user tweeting: “Used to play in England*”

Another said: “Not the brightest spark. Can we ask his views on Ceuta and Melilla?”

Recognised as autonomous Spanish cities, both are located on the coast of North Africa, bordering Morocco.

The Gibraltar FA is also set to make official complaint to UEFA following the “unacceptable” chanting.

In an official note, it said: “The Gibraltar FA has noted the extremely provocative and insulting nature of the celebrations around the Spanish Men’s national team winning Euro 2024.

“The Association is this morning taking advice on the filing of a complaint to European Football’s governing body, UEFA, in relation to the unacceptable chanting and songs, relating to Gibraltar, sung by Spain’s Men’s National Team players after winning Euro 2024.

“Football has no place for behaviour of this nature.”

Rodri, whose full name is Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, joined Manchester City in July 2019 from Atlético Madrid for a then club-record fee of approximately £60 million.

Since his arrival, Rodri has established himself as a key defensive midfielder under manager Pep Guardiola.

Known for his excellent passing, tactical intelligence, and ability to break up opposition play, he has been integral to City’s success.

During his time at Manchester City, Rodri has helped the club win multiple trophies, including Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.

His performances have been marked by consistent defensive solidity and his role as a deep-lying playmaker, which has been crucial in City’s possession-based style of play.

As a national player, Rodri has now crowned Spain as the Euro 2024 winner as England was knocked down to second place for two editions in a row.
