Rodrygo Silva de Goes (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁoˈdɾiɡu ˈsiwvɐ dʒi ˈɡɔjs];[4] born 9 January 2001), simply known as Rodrygo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team.
He began his career with Santos, where he played 80 games and scored 17 goals before a €45 million transfer to Real Madrid in 2019. At international level, Rodrygo made his senior debut for Brazil in 2019, aged only 18.
Club career[edit]
Santos[edit]
Born in Osasco, São Paulo, Rodrygo joined Santos' youth setup in 2011 at the age of ten, initially assigned to the futsal team.[2] Rodrygo traveled the world with Santos, spreading his beloved game of futsal under legendary futsal coach Barata who also trained Neymar, including a much heralded YouTube video with City Futsal in Dallas area in Texas, USA. In March 2017, with the first team regulars in Peru for a Copa Libertadores match against Sporting Cristal, he was called up to the first team by manager Dorival Júnior to complete training.[5]
On 21 July 2017, Rodrygo signed his first professional contract, after agreeing to a five-year deal.[6] On 1 November, he was promoted to the main squad by interim manager Elano.[7]
Rodrygo made his first team – and Série A – debut on 4 November 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Bruno Henrique in a 3–1 home win against Atlético Mineiro.[8] The following 25 January he scored his first senior goal, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista away win against Ponte Preta.[9]
Rodrygo made his Copa Libertadores debut on 1 March 2018, replacing Eduardo Sasha in a 2–0 away loss against Real Garcilaso; aged 17 years and 50 days, he became the youngest player of Santos to appear in the competition.[10] Fifteen days later he scored his first goal in the tournament, netting his team's second through an individual effort in a 3–1 win against Nacional at the Pacaembu Stadium; at the age of 17 years, two months and six days, he became the youngest Brazilian to score in the competition[11] before his record was broken by fellow Santos youth graduates Kaiky and Ângelo.[12]
Rodrygo scored his first goal in the main category of Brazilian football on 14 April 2018, netting the last in a 2–0 home win against Ceará.[13] On 3 June, he scored a hat-trick and also assisted Gabriel's last goal in a 5–2 home routing of Vitória.[14]
On 26 July 2018, Rodrygo changed his jersey number from 43 to 9 (a number he already wore during the Libertadores).[15] For the 2019 campaign, he again switched numbers, now to jersey 11, previously worn by fellow youth graduate Neymar.[16]
Real Madrid[edit]
On 15 June 2018, Real Madrid reached an agreement with Santos for the transfer of Rodrygo, with the player joining Los Blancos in June 2019 and signing until 2025.[17][18] The rumoured fee was of €45 million,[19] with Santos receiving €40 million as the club owned 80% of his rights with the rest owned by Rodrygo's agents.[20]
On 25 September 2019, Rodrygo made his first team debut and scored his first league goal against Osasuna within a mere minute.[21] He scored his first hat-trick, and gave an assist for the club on 6 November, aged 18 years and 301 days old, against Galatasaray in a 6–0 win in the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League season.[22] The second youngest ever to score a hat-trick in the competition, he is also the first player born in the 21st century to score in the tournament.[23] In his first season, he managed to make 19 appearances, while scoring two goals during the league season, as Real Madrid won the 2019–20 La Liga.[24] On 3 November 2020, Rodrygo scored the winning goal in a 3–2 victory over Inter Milan in the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League.[25]
On 12 April 2022, after coming on as a substitute in the second leg of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie against Chelsea, he scored with a volleyed finish to send the game into extra-time, in which Karim Benzema scored the winner from a header, allowing Real Madrid to progress into the semi-finals.[26] On 30 April, Rodrygo helped Real clinch their 35th La Liga title after scoring twice in a 4–0 win against Espanyol at the Bernabéu.[27] On 4 May, while trailing 0–1 (3–5 on aggregate) in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tie against Manchester City, he scored two goals between the 89th and 91st minutes to level the tie and send the game into extra-time. Benzema scored a penalty to win the game 3–1, allowing Real Madrid to progress into the final against Liverpool with an aggregate score of 6–5 and eventually win the tournament.[28][29] Following the turnaround win against City and other recent last-minute winning contributions, Rodrygo’s impact on the team was praised despite his young age and he quickly turned into a cult hero at Madrid.[30]
On 18 April 2023, he scored a brace in a 2–0 away victory over Chelsea in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg, which secured his team's qualification to the semi-finals by winning 4–0 on aggregate.[31] On 6 May, he scored two goals for Real Madrid in a 2–1 win over Osasuna in the 2023 Copa del Rey final, to be their 20th title in that competition.[32]
On 2 November 2023, it was announced by Real Madrid that Rodrygo's contract had been extended, with a new expiration date of 30 June 2028.[33][34]
International career[edit]
On 30 March 2017, Rodrygo was called up to Brazil under-17s for the year's Montaigu Tournament.[35] He made his debut in the championship by scoring his side's only goal in a 2–1 loss against Denmark, and netted two more against Cameroon and United States.[36]
On 7 March 2018, Rodrygo and Santos teammate Yuri Alberto were called up to the under-20s,[37] but both were cut from the squad six days later after a request from his club's president.[38]
In November 2019, Rodrygo was called up for the first time to the Brazil senior team, for the Superclásico de las Américas against rivals Argentina in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[39] In the 1–0 loss on 15 November, he replaced Willian for the final 20 minutes.[40]
On 7 November 2022, Rodrygo was named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[41]
Personal life[edit]
Rodrygo is the father of Brazilian beautician Pamella Cristina Costa’s twin boys Ravy and Rayan, born in February 2022.[42]
His father, Eric, is a former professional footballer who played as a right back in several tiers of Brazilian football, the highest of which being the Série B.[43]
Rodrygo is a Christian.[44][45]
