Rodrygo thrilled with goal in Real Madrid's win against Espanyol - Carlos Volcano

He later expressed, "Winning while wearing this shirt is always a top priority for us. It was a challenging game, and the coach was not pleased that we only managed to score in the second half. Despite conceding a goal, we kept our composure and fought hard to secure the victory."

“We reacted quickly to the opposition goal. In the pre-match team talk, the gaffer had told us we'd been poor in the first half of games and he wanted us to improve tonight. We didn't get the goal but everything came off in the second half and we won the game. The season is only just starting and we're getting better every day. On an individual level I feel great physically and mentally, and I'm always ready to help the team."

He added, “The atmosphere here is fantastic, there is so much respect among the group and we all have the same goals. Vini's assist was delightful, it was Modrić-esque. He's getting better in that sense all the time, so I'd like to thank him for the assist."
