It will be interesting to see how this match will end and whether Arsenal will be able to distance themselves from Nottingham Forest who will face a tough fight against Man United this time.
It could be so, just if MU plays as if they were in the PL , in the Arsenal match I don't know how hard Arsenal will play, because I think they are thinking more about not killing any key players to get to the 1st place that Liverpool has, I doubt it, Arsenal for me has its eyes set on Madrid for the UCL commitment , I think that is the most important thing for them , for now they have already Secured a very safe place in the classifications.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.
Shits happen, even if Rodri was to be available, Manchester City will still struggle. It's their depreciation time.
