After Real Madrid's recent 3-4 loss to Barcelona, coach Ancelotti said Rodrygo had suffered an injury in training and his body had not fully recovered from the fever. Therefore, he did not use the Brazilian player for a single minute.

However, according to many sources in Spain, Rodrygo refused to play in this match to express his dissatisfaction with Real Madrid's treatment of him.
Accordingly, the Brazilian striker feels that the team is trying to focus on Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. That makes him gradually lose his position and become overshadowed at Bernabeu. In previous seasons, Rodrygo and Vinicius were "planned" to become symbols of the club. However, the appearance of Mbappe has caused both of them to lose their position.
In particular, after Mbappe appeared, coach Ancelotti had to change the tactical scheme to serve this player. Rodrygo had to move to the wing more, Bellingham also had to retreat deeper to make room for the French striker. Gradually, Rodrygo was even eliminated from Real Madrid's main squad in important matches, giving way to the trio Vinicius, Bellingham, Mbappe.

Even, according to some sources, coach Xabi Alonso, who is likely to lead Real Madrid, is also "planning" the team around Mbappe.
A close source said Rodrygo was very angry and isolated himself at home after refusing to play in the match against Barcelona. Since joining Bernabeu from Santos, the striker born in 2001 has played more than 250 matches and won 2 Champions League titles, 3 La Liga, 1 Spanish King's Cup, 1 FIFA Club World Cup, 2 European Super Cups, 3 Spanish Super Cups with the Madrid club.
Now, Rodrygo is looking to escape the Bernabeu to save his career. Premier League clubs such as Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea are all interested in owning the Brazilian striker.
