Spain are through to the World Cup final, and Rodri will be at the heart of it. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes as La Roja beat France 2-0 in Dallas, setting up a Sunday showdown for the trophy.
Gusto move edges closer
There was movement on another front too, with Malo Gusto’s move edging closer. The full-back appears to be on his way to the Etihad, though details remain under wraps for now.
Anderson’s price tag becomes clearer
City also got a clearer picture of why they paid what they did for Elliot Anderson. The midfielder’s performance in midweek offered some insight into the thinking behind that particular outlay.
Rayan Cherki’s summer, on the other hand, looks to be over. The Lyon attacker had been linked with a move away, but that particular window now appears shut.
