🎯 The Mystery Inspiration
While Rodrygo didn’t name him outright during the opening minutes of the presser, multiple sources close to the club confirmed the player in question is Bukayo Saka — Arsenal’s homegrown superstar and England international.
The 23-year-old Brazilian is said to have admired Saka’s consistency, humility, and ability to perform in the biggest games.
