Real Madrid beаt Cadiz 3-0 and are now in first place in the Spanish league thanks to two goals from Rodrygo.
Rodrygo made the most of being added to Real Madrid’s team at the last minute. He scored two beautiful goals and set up Jude Bellingham for the third in a 3-0 win over Cadiz on Sunday, which put Madrid at the top of the Spanish league.
In the 14th and 64th minutes, Rodrygo quickly got past the Cadiz players and Һit the top corner for goals. He then set up Bellingham’s goal in the 74th minute.

He scored his 14th goal for Real Madrid in all categories. The English player, who had been suffering a shoulder ιnjury, now has 11 goals, which is the most in the Spanish league.
At first, Rodrygo was going to start the game on the bench, but Brahim Diaz got sick and had to come off, so Rodrygo was put in the starting 11.
Acelotti, the boss of Madrid, said, “Rodrygo made the difference in the game today.”
Last week, Rodrygo said that he had been the target of racist abuse on social media after Brazil lost 1-0 to Argentina in South American World Cup qualifying. This was his first game since then.
In his last three games with Real Madrid, the forward from Brazil has scored five goals. On Sunday, he scored two goals, one inside the area and one on a rush. He did so while staying calm.
Vinicius Junior and Eduardo Camavinga have also been ruled out for Ancelotti’s team because they got hurt during the international break.
