Rodrygo has had a great December. The Brazilian's performance in the last few LaLiga and Champions League games has been remarkable, providing goals and assists that have earned Xabi Alonso's side points. He started three of the last four games, and against Manchester City he put in a great performance, scoring the 1-0 with a precise cross-shot.

A few days later, Rodrygo made it 1-2 against Alavés in Mendizorroza for the three points. In the last matchday, against Sevilla, he didn't score, but he proved decisive, giving Bellingham the assist for the 1-0 and then provoking the penalty that Mbappé converted to make it 2-0.
