Rodri has attracted headlines for the second game running for Spain as he hit out at Scotland's "rubbish, time-wasting" tactics during his country's shock defeat on Tuesday.
The Manchester City midfielder has anchored the midfield in Spain's two fixtures at the start of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, moving forward from his central defensive role during the World Cup.
Spain were 3-0 winners over Norway last week - when Rodri was criticised for a strong, but fair, challenge on Arsenal's Martin Odegaard - but fell to a 2-0 reverse against a hard-working Scotland side.
Rodri captained the Spanish side at Hampden Park and gave his verdict after the game, prompting more criticism from former Scotland international Ally McCoist.
