Hansi Flick Reveals His Plan: Barcelona Coach Hints at Rodri's Debut Date

He joined Camp Nou from Manchester City, with the Catalans reportedly paying around 80 million euros for the newly crowned World Cup winner.

"The plan is for Rodri to play at least a few minutes against Bilbao. He's a top-quality player, much like Pedri, excellent at controlling the ball. They could form a formidable partnership. Rodri brings even more experience; he's a true leader," stated Barcelona coach Hansi Flick at the pre-match press conference ahead of their home clash with Bilbao, commenting on the new acquisition.
