Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has named the player who deserved to be given the Player of the Tournament award instead of Rodri.
He said that Rodri’s teammate and midfield partner, Fabian Ruiz was better compared to the Manchester City star and deserved to win the Player of the Tournament.
He stated this after Spain won Euro 2024. Spain defeated England 2-1 in the final on Sunday and Rodri was named Player of the Tournament.
La Roja ended the tournament winning 7 out of 7 matches with a formidable performance in midfield and defense.
At the center of Spain’s dominance was the midfield partnership of Ruiz and Rodri.
Carragher, who was responding to a journalist, according to sportskeeda.com, said despite Rodri’s heroics in midfield, his compatriot Ruiz was the “better player” in the tournament.
Ruiz was directly involved in four goals (two goals and assists each) and recovered possession more times overall (46) and in the final third (14) than any other player.
