City has dropped form drastically this season and the absence of Rodri is really affecting them. Nobody knows what their performance will be like next season, because no one ever thought that City will become the shadows of the themselves this season.
Some people talk about Rodri as if he were the Holy Grail and all the possible solutions, but the truth is, at a football level, I think of their player X or any other player, The only thing that stands out is that they gave him the Ballon d'Or, but for me he's like a "log." That's what we call people here who don't play very well and who sometimes make good plays.
Not to disrespect him, but he doesn't make the difference. The difference at City is made by DeBruyne, Haaland, Foden, among others who are truly class 1A players, Without them, and it's already been proven, City would fall apart In the last UCL match against Madrid, Pep didn't put them in to play, and the rest was grim for Madrid, If Rodri had been present it would have been the same or even worse.
