Despite the seriousness of the injury, Rodri still managed to enjoy the late equaliser by John Stones at the Etihad. According to<em> </em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5799875/2024/09/28/arsenal-manchester-city-guardiola-arteta-war/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>, the Spain star managed to "celebrate raucously in front of the Arsenal bench" despite being forced off with an injury that has required surgery.</p>
