Rodrygo Goes signs new deal, recalls unforgettable football memory
Rodrygo de Goes, the Real Madrid forward, has blossomed into a top-tier football sensation following his move to the Spanish football giant.
The Brazilian forward, who has emerged as a cornerstone in Real Madrid’s attacking lineup, has played pivotal roles in the club’s recent series of triumphs.
At 23 years old, he played a crucial part in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad securing their 14th UEFA Champions League title in 2022, orchestrating a remarkable comeback with two late goals against Manchester City.
According to a report from Fotmob, Rodrygo once more displayed his talent and skill by scoring twice, contributing to Real Madrid’s first Copa Del Rey title win in nine years against Osasuna.
The forward’s exceptional skills have secured him a contract extension with the Spanish club. According to reports from Diario AS, the Brazilian forward has inked a fresh deal, ensuring his presence at the Santiago Bernabeu until at least 2028.
He now joins the company of players such as Vinicius Jr, Eduardo Camavinga, and Federico Valverde, who have recently pledged their futures to the club.
Following the confirmation of his contract extension, Rodrygo spoke to the media and fielded various questions, including one about his most cherished football memory.
According to reports, the former Santos star said: “An unforgettable memory? My 2nd goal against Man. City in the Semi-Final of the 14th UCL. That moment will always be in my memory.”
The Brazilian would further go on to add: “Real Madrid is my life. There is no other club as big as Real Madrid. Here you are at the highest level of football. It is a club without comparison, the top of football.”
While Rodrygo possesses tremendous skills, he has recently encountered a goal-scoring dry spell, primarily linked to a tactical shift by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Nonetheless, the Brazilian is anticipated to be part of the starting lineup when Los Blancos take on Rayo Vallecano, and he is resolute in his commitment to break his goal drought.
