The absence of Brazilian star Rodrigo Goes from Real Madrid's lineup against Pachuca in the second round of the group stage of the Club World Cup has raised many questions, especially since he had started as a starter in the opening match against Al-Hilal.

The newspaper 'Marca' stated that Rodrigo's non-participation against Pachuca was surprising, especially given the coach's reliance on him in the first match. Although no explanation has been provided by the coach regarding the reason for him not getting any minutes in the match, this has added to the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team.

Many reports have indicated that Rodrigo feels a lack of stability within the team, and the player feels he is not receiving enough recognition compared to the appreciation enjoyed by Vinicius, Mbappe, and Bellingham.

Several clubs are interested in signing Rodrigo this summer, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich being the most prominent.
