Rodri Matches Toni Kroos Passing Feat in Barcelona's Win
Barcelona's new signing Rodri replicated a passing achievement not seen in La Liga since Toni Kroos played for Real Madrid. This happened during his performance against Levante.
Barcelona secured their fifth consecutive victory at the start of their Spanish top-flight title defense, winning 4-2 at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.
Rodri, a 30-year-old World Cup winner, started the match as he continues to integrate into Hansi Flick's squad after his summer move from Manchester City. His play over the 90 minutes demonstrated why Barcelona pursued him.
Statistics from Sofascore highlight this:
Players with over 10 long ball attempts and 100% accuracy on long balls in a single La Liga game over the last four seasons:
Rodri against Levante on September 13, 2026 (12 successful out of 12 attempts).
Toni Kroos (achieved this 3 times).
