Rodri: Manchester City's invincible & 'best midfielder in the world'

59 games. 395 days. That's when Manchester City midfielder Rodri last tasted defeat in blue.

City's 3-1 win over Manchester United at Etihad Stadium on Sunday means the 27-year-old is now on the longest unbeaten run in all competitions of any Premier League player past or present.

"It is difficult to understand what we have done in recent years without him. It would've been difficult," City boss Pep Guardiola told the club's website last month.

The run surpasses that of former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho (58 games), with Rodri's last loss in a City shirt coming against Tottenham in February 2023 - although it does include City's defeat on penalties by Arsenal in the Community Shield.
