For the 24-year-old Brazilian, this is the first goal for Real since March 4, when he scored against Atletico in the Champions League (2:1). Thus, the period without productive actions in official matches, which lasted 282 days, was interrupted by his head.

Rodrigo was brought into the starting line-up in the absence of Kylian Mbappe, although his role in the team was previously limited. The Brazilian wildly celebrated taking the goal, hugging the coach.
