The Spain international earned the recognition after an outstanding season, which included helping Manchester City clinch their fourth consecutive Premier League title and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/the-rondo-ballon-d-or-edition-rodri-s-unlikely-win-vinicius-jr-s-snub-and-will-we-ever-see-usmnt-player-win-real-madrid/blt19161d95f9fe03d4" target="_blank">fuelling Spain’s victorious European Championship campaign.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Upon receiving the accolade, Rodri celebrated in high spirits and footage showed the midfielder at a restaurant, joined by teammate Ruben Dias, where they jubilantly sang “Rodri’s on fire!” while waving napkins, marking an exuberant celebration of his long-awaited victory. Amid the festive atmosphere, a video published by Spanish outlet <em>El Chiringuito </em>captured Rodri singing along to the melody of the Italian folk tune “Bella Ciao.” However, in a twist, the lyrics appeared to have been altered to “Ciao Vini,” which translates to “Bye Vini” in English. </p>
