Rodrigo Hernández gave an interview to the program 'El Partidazo de COPE' and his statements will not go unnoticed by the culés. The Ballon d'Or left several 'winks' in 'clave Barça', speaking about the current state of the Blaugrana team and mentioning a couple of club legends.

Regarding the spectacular start to the season of the team led by Hansi Flick, the Manchester City footballer said that "Barça's level has surprised us all. I am very happy because they have many players from the national team."

"Now we all like to watch Barça play, it is a team that has made a big change"

In addition, he did not miss the opportunity to talk about his relationship with Lamine Yamal, commenting that "he is a different player. I have known Lamine since he was 16 years old and Morata and I have sponsored him. I always tell him to be focused, since it is very easy at his age to waste talent and get lost."

His idol is a Barça fan... and is there a chance of seeing him at the Camp Nou?

The footballer continued his 'waterfall' of winks at Barça, confessing that Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, Blaugrana legends, congratulated him after winning the Ballon d'Or. "One of the congratulations that excited me the most was that of Andrés Iniesta. And I thought, what can I say to him now, that he doesn't have it makes me feel ashamed to answer him. Busquets also congratulated me."

Finally, Rodri revealed that Busquets "has always been my idol and role model," adding that, despite his admiration for the former Barça player, his relationship with him "is not that of an idol, since we are very good friends."

Thus, Rodri's words could trigger rumours about a possible arrival in Barcelona. Barça have been interested in the player for some time now, and this summer his future at City could be put in doubt if the Mancunians are finally severely punished for the 115 accusations against them for problems with financial fair play, which is why the Catalans are allowing themselves to dream of signing him, as their sympathy for the club is evident.
