Rodrigo Hernandez This Sunday he extended his hitting streak to 59 games Premier League. The midfielder, after the success of City of Manchester In the Manchester derby (3-1), he surpassed Ricardo Carvalho’s 58 games with Chelsea and became the player with the most consecutive Premier League games without defeat.
A historic fact for a player who has not lost since February 2023, when City fell in the stadium where they are worst, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, against ‘Spurs’ (1-0). Since then, every time Pep Guardiola has put Rodri on, City have won.
A few weeks ago, in the return against Brentford (1-3), thanks to a hat trick by Phil Foden, Rodri completed a year without defeat, and this Sunday, in the return against United, also sponsored by a ‘double’ from Foden, surpassing Carvalho’s mark. The Portuguese went unbeaten in 58 games between November 2006 and February 2008.
Rodri has missed all three of City’s Premier League defeats this season, all through suspension, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Arsenal and Aston Villa. Last season, Brentford also missed him on the final day of the league, when the ‘Sky Blues’ went down with a team full of substitutes due to the proximity of the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
“I read that he left I don’t know how many months or games,” said Rodri after completing an unbeaten year. “The truth is that it is something remarkable. I am happy, especially because of what it means for the team not to lose for a year. In that sense, it only makes me want to move forward,” he concluded.
