Rodrygo matches Sergio Ramos as Atlético de Madrid’s nemesis, here’s why | OneFootball

This Thursday (8th), in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid defeated Atlético de Madrid 2-1 and advanced to the final to face Barcelona.

And it was the Brazilian who scored the winning goal for Los Blancos, with Fede Valverde opening the scoring and Sorloth pulling one back.

A standout for Real Madrid in recent matches, racking up goals and assists, Rodrygo has now matched the merengue idol Sergio Ramos as a "nemesis" of their local rival.

That's because, since the 2013/14 season, Rodrygo has become only the second Real Madrid player to score against Atlético de Madrid in four different competitions.

To get a sense of how rare this achievement by the Brazilian forward is, before him, only Sergio Ramos had managed to do this for the club.

This fact shows how Rodrygo rises to the occasion in big games, makes the difference in crucial moments, and has already made history in this classic rivalry.
