Not to disrespect yeah. However I don't believe Rodri was solid enough to be given a Ballon d'Or. I always believed it should have been given to Vinicius Junior because of having an insane season. But anyways... 

But it is the obvious truth that Manchester City needs Rodri too much in the midfield. They are more fragile without him. Rodri is like the pillar there playing a big role going back and forth to help his teammates. He is out until the summer which is the sad truth for Guardiola.
