Rodrigo, who started and played a key role in the Champions League match against Marseille 2-1, responded to many recent rumors that he would leave Real Madrid.

Rodrigo said in an interview with TNT Sports that he even joked with his parents and friends about the matter.

Rodrigo said: "I'm used to it, and every year they say they want me to leave. During the transfer window, I'm arranged to go to a different team every week. I even joke with my parents and friends, 'Look, I'm on this team today, and that team tomorrow.'. I'm on a different team every week, but as I said, my mindset is very calm and it doesn't affect me at all."

"I continue to enjoy my vacation and keep training because I know I'll stay here. In the end, I'm still at my home, where I dreamed. As long as I'm still wearing this jersey, I will continue to give it all for it every day."

Rodrigo took the opportunity to start Vinicius in this game, and he performed well and won the first penalty for Real Madrid, which was eventually scored by Mbappe.

Rodrigo said: "I train and work hard every day to wait for opportunities. Alonso's tactical arrangements have changed a lot, and he will try different squads in every game. He made me play more on the left at the start of the season, but everyone knew I could play in the middle and right as I always did."

Finally, Rodrigo talked about his dream of wearing the Brazilian national team's jersey again: "I will work for it. Everyone knows that no one has a fixed position, and Ancelotti is always very clear about that. I will continue to work hard and give it all. I know my potential and everything I can contribute. As long as I keep in good physical and mental state, I can play an important role in the club and the national team. I just have to focus on my work and then it's up to him. I respect him because he helped me in the most difficult moments of my life. I hope we can create brilliance together in the national team."
