Barcelona summer signing Rodri was on Sunday responsible for a passing feat not seen in La Liga since the days of Toni Kroos at Real Madrid.
This came courtesy of his showing against Levante.
Barcelona were of course back in action a short time ago, making the trip to the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia with sights on a fifth successive victory to open the defence of their Spanish top-flight crown.
And when all was said and done, this is precisely what the Blaugrana managed, courtesy of a 4-2 result.
The aforementioned Rodri for his part featured from the off in the fixture, as the 30-year-old continues to work his way into his new surroundings in Hansi Flick’s squad following his summer arrival from Manchester City.
And as alluded to above, across the 90 minutes, the World Cup winner provided a firm insight into precisely why he was snapped up by the Camp Nou brass.
As revealed by statisticians Sofascore:
‘Players with more than 10 long ball attempts and a 100% long ball accuracy in a single La Liga match over the last four seasons:
‘Rodri vs Levante on 13 Sep 2026 (12/12)
