The Spain midfielder for Manchester City, Rodri has issued a warning to the club's rivals, signaling that the team's peak performance is yet to be unveiled, despite their recent impressive form.
City's authoritative display against Newcastle secured their place in the FA Cup semi-finals for the sixth consecutive season, maintaining their pursuit of a second consecutive treble.
Despite the 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium, which featured two deflected goals from Bernardo Silva, City's dominance wasn't fully reflected in the scoreline.
Rodri expressed confidence that there's more to come from the team, particularly after the current international break.
"This break will be beneficial for us," Rodri remarked. "You'll witness the finest rendition of this team as the season progresses. It's a pattern we've grown accustomed to, shaped by our manager, the club's standards, and our collective experience over the years. That's our objective."
Acknowledging the challenge of balancing national team duties with club commitments during the break, Rodri stressed the importance of rest while keeping the end-of-season goals in sight.
Guardiola, cautious about talk of repeating last season's treble, emphasises the remaining fixtures for City. With crucial Premier League clashes and formidable opponents in the Champions League and FA Cup, the journey ahead is daunting.
Yet, Rodri and the squad remain resolute in their ambition. Reflecting on their position across competitions, he stated, "Our current standing is exactly what we aimed for at the beginning of the season: contention in every competition, striving for success in all. After the international break, this is the scenario we'll confront."
Optimism resonates within the team, as they believe in their ability to clinch silverware on multiple fronts. "We have the potential to win it all, though it will undoubtedly be challenging. The groundwork has been laid, and now it's time for the final push," Rodri affirmed, echoing the determination that drives Manchester City forward in their pursuit of glory.
