Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes hailed Rodri as regaining peak form since his ACL rehabilitation, suggesting the Spaniard’s performance could help City close the gap on Arsenal in the league. Scholes highlighted Rodri’s impact as pivotal in City’s victory at Wembley, noting the improvement since his return and the potential for City to become unstoppable if he maintains this level.
Scholes also addressed the broader implications of the result, stating that the win would provide City with significant confidence, even with a congested schedule. He argued that if City win their game in hand and defeat Arsenal, they would close the gap to three points, keeping the title race open heading into the final stretch of the season.
Looking ahead, Arsenal face a critical test when they visit Manchester City at the end of next month, a match that could prove decisive in the title chase. City’s 2-0 victory reinforces their contention and underscores Rodri’s key role in their push for renewal at the top of English football.
