Rodri enters the circle of football immortals

Rodri has written a new chapter in football history. Thanks to the World Cup title clinched with Spain in 2026, the midfielder has joined a highly exclusive group of players who have won the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Ballon d'Or.

Already a Champions League winner with Manchester City and a Ballon d'Or recipient, the 30-year-old has now added the world’s biggest trophy to his incredible collection. Before him, only a handful of football legends had achieved such a feat. Among them are Zinédine Zidane, Franz Beckenbauer, and Gerd Müller. Throughout the World Cup, he was one of La Roja’s most pivotal players. His consistency and command in midfield were instrumental in securing Spain’s second world title.

With this latest achievement, Rodri also joins the select few who have won the World Cup, the Euros, the Champions League, and the Ballon d'Or—a prestigious list featuring Zidane, Beckenbauer, and Gerd Müller. At 30, the Spanish midfielder has firmly cemented his place among the greatest figures in football history.
