🚨 Rodri on his explosive altercation with Real Madrid’s Bernardo Silva: “I can accept banter, and I can accept people disagreeing with my decision. But Bernardo kept telling me I made a mistake turning down Real Madrid when they came for me. He said I would have won more trophies there and that one day I would regret choosing Barcelona. Eventually, I had enough. I pushed him and told him, ‘Never come to me again in your life and tell me I made a mistake choosing Barcelona. Never!’ I knew Madrid were interested. I understand the size of that club, but I made my decision because Barcelona was where I wanted to be. I chose Barça. Not because Madrid rejected me, not because I couldn't play for them, but because that's where I wanted to be. I told Bernardo, ‘We'll see at the end of the season. If Real Madrid go trophyless for the third consecutive season, don't come back telling me I should have joined you.’ I'm not disrespecting Madrid. They're a massive club, but people need to stop acting as if they're guaranteed to win everything while Barcelona are supposed to be grateful just to compete. I'm at the best club in the world, and I'm proud to wear this shirt. Bernardo can defend his club, and I'll defend mine. But don't stand in front of me and tell me to regret choosing the club I believe in. I made my decision, and I have no regrets. When the season ends, the football will do the talking.”
