Rodrygo 'disappears' in El Clásico.

Spanish media questioned Rodrygo's absence from the El Clásico match on May 11th.

Rodrygo did not play in El Clásico.

Rodrygo was benched for the entire match, as coach Carlo Ancelotti preferred the attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Arda Guler. This was expected due to Rodrygo's recent poor form. Before the match against Barcelona, ​​he had only scored one goal in his last 22 games.

Coach Ancelotti decided to change the lineup, switching to a four-midfielder formation. With this change, Güler was given priority to start due to his better passing and link-up play compared to Rodrygo. The Brazilian forward was expected to come on in the second half, but ultimately he didn't play a single minute.

Instead of using Rodrygo when Real Madrid needed an equalizer, coach Ancelotti placed his trust in Endrick, Brahim Diaz, and Víctor Munoz, the young striker from the Castilla academy, rather than Rodrygo.

Explaining the decision, Ancelotti said Rodrygo was not feeling well because he had previously suffered from a fever. However, AS deemed this explanation unconvincing. Real Madrid had not announced any injuries to Rodrygo. Even the striker's representatives had not confirmed any physical problems he had.

Rodrygo is having an inconsistent season. Rumors about a possible departure next summer are growing. Not getting to play in a crucial game of the season is adding to the pressure on the young player.

According to Marca , after taking over Real Madrid, coach Xabi Alonso may offload Rodrygo. Real Madrid are considering selling Rodrygo for a asking price of around 100 million euros.

Mbappe's brace helps Real win. On the evening of April 5th, Kylian Mbappe shone with a brace to help Real Madrid win 3-2 against Celta Vigo in the 34th round of La Liga.
