Why DANI RODRIGUEZ Is The Next FOOTBALL MONSTER From La Masia

Lamine Yamal was injured in the match against Leganés, and he’s out for 3–4 weeks!

An absolutely devastating piece of news for us right before the clash with Atlético Madrid!

But when everything seems very bad and success feels out of reach — La Masia comes to Barcelona’s rescue!

Is it Dani Rodríguez time in Barça’s first team? 🤔

The hype around Dani is real, and there's a good reason for it.

Today, we’ll discuss why Dani Rodríguez might just be The Next Big Thing from La Masia!

Dani Rodríguez could become an alternative to Lamine Yamal as the right winger. Or he could play as a left winger! Wherever you want, Hansi Flick!

He has everything it takes — he’s fast, technical, and possesses great passing and shooting abilities. Without a doubt, he’s THE NEW MONSTER FROM LA MASIA!

The best comparison for him comes from his former coach at Barcelona’s academy, López:

"Of course, I see Dani Rodríguez as ready to play for the first team. Dani is a very direct player with his own unique style and verticality.

He’s not tall, but he’s aggressive and reminds me of Ribéry! He has the same incredible dribbling potential. With a player like him, you can’t limit his creativity, so you need to give him freedom on the pitch — just like Ribéry!"

Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?..

Dani Rodríguez is 19 years old and is already making a name for himself at the top level. Last season, his contract situation created a lot of uncertainty.

His deal with Barcelona was set to expire in the summer, and Athletic Bilbao was eager to sign this top talent. Luckily, Dani’s heart beats blaugrana, and he was determined to try his luck with Barçelona’s first team.

At the start of the season, things didn’t go his way. The winger suffered an injury that sidelined him for four months. But what a phenomenal comeback! In three matches for Barça Atlètic, he scored three goals and provided one assist — a spectacular return!

And here’s an insane fact: after Dani Rodríguez returned, Barça Atlètic broke their streak of 11 matches without a win. With Dani back, the team secured two wins in three matches! This guy can be the X-factor in any game! He’s ready to earn his minutes with the first team.

Here’s another fact: despite playing just three matches for Barça Atlètic, Dani is already the team’s second-top scorer, behind Hernández (3 goals for Dani, 6 for Unai). Surely, Flick has noticed this rising star in action and might call him up for the game against Atlético Madrid.

Journalist Javier Bosch from Mundo Deportivo takes it a step further, comparing Dani to Leo Messi:

"His two goals in the match against Celta B reminded me of how Lionel Messi used to score."

Indeed, watching his recent highlights, comparisons to the great Argentine come naturally. But he is not Messi. He is Dani Rodríguez. And he is a special player.

Albert Sánchez, the coach of Barça Atlètic, is highly impressed with his player:

"The first team? I hope Dani Rodríguez gets the chance! That’s what we work here! He’s an exceptional profile for Barcelona. He has immense potential!"

From a physical standpoint, Dani is considered one of the standout athletes from La Masia. He’s always stood out for his physical attributes: speed, strength, and coordination. This guy seems made for Barça’s first team!
Dani Rodríguez’s journey to Barcelona is also fascinating.

This story was shared by Sport.es in August this year. One of Barça’s scouts revealed the following:

"Signing Basque players is very difficult, so you need to act quickly and decisively. Our scout in Euskadi informed us about a great talent at Real Sociedad, and I decided to travel to San Sebastián."

"It was a day with heavy rain and strong winds, and I was surprised that Dani wasn’t in the starting lineup. Someone knew I was coming to watch him and decided to limit his playtime to just the last 15 minutes."

"I saw a small player, but very powerful and with excellent left-footed quality. Even that day, I was impressed by his ability to unsettle opponents."

The rest was up to Dani’s desire, and he made his choice. He’s a blaugrana!

The solution to the problems on both the left and right wings is already ` Dani Rodríguez is our great hope! The time has come! The boy is in top form and ready for the opportunity of a lifetime! We believe in Dani Rodríguez — do you?
