A remarkable figure has been making the rounds online, one that lays bare just how completely Barcelona's Rodri controlled his side's most recent match.

The statistic emerged on the back of yet another outstanding individual display from the summer arrival in Catalonia's capital.

Rodri shines with Barcelona and the system

Barcelona were back in action a short while ago, hosting Getafe at the Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga. Rodri started the fixture, operating as ever from his deep-lying role in the heart of midfield.

And on the way to a 3-0 Blaugrana victory, the 30-year-old left his mark on virtually every aspect of the contest, dictating its pace and rhythm with the composure that has become his signature.

Across the full 90 minutes, Rodri attempted 126 passes — and misplaced only five of them.

As statistician Nil Sola later pointed out, that works out at 121 completed passes, a figure 15 higher than the entire Getafe XI managed on Saturday, with the visitors totalling just 106 between them.

It is a number that speaks for itself: one midfielder, outpassing an entire team.
