A leading member of La Liga giants Real Madrid’s attack will have to fight hard to maintain his status as a regular in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad next season.

This is the opinion of Relevo, which indicates Rodrygo as the player in question.

Frontman Rodrygo, of course, has just played his part in helping Real win another title on the continent on Wednesday evening.

The Brazilian started the Spanish champions’ UEFA Super Cup victory over Atalanta, playing 75 minutes en route to the eventual 2-0 triumph.

And yet, Rodrygo’s contributions went somewhat unnoticed, while Real’s top stars were directly involved in the club’s two goals – Kylian Mbappé with a goal, Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham with assists.

That’s not to say he didn’t play well, but the 23-year-old is now competing with the best players in the world.

And for this reason, Rodrygo must give his best over the course of the coming season.

According to a report by Relevance:

“This season, his place will not be as secure as last year. Arda Güler, Luka Modric, Brahim and Camavinga are also fighting for a place in the starting eleven and Ancelotti could change his line-up in many games.”

While the trio Mbappé, Vinícius and Bellingham are considered “untouchable”, Rodrygo has to fight for his place.
