  • Rodrygo Goes scored two sublime goals and provided an assist for Real Madrid
  • The Brazilian attacker opened the scoring with a brilliant solo effort in the first half
  • Rodrygo has now scored five goals and notched up four assists in 17 games this season

Take a bow, Rodrygo Goes.

The Real Madrid attacker proved to Carlo Ancelotti that he can be a difference-maker on the wing, as he scored a brilliant solo goal for the side.

Rodrygo, who was operating on the left wing, linked up with Jude Bellingham before going on to score an absolute stunner.

The Brazilian cut into the box, bypassing one defender before nutmegging another. He then danced his way past another two Cadiz players before rifling a shot into the back of the net before a fifth player could get a block in.

Three other players were also powerless to stop the effort as the Brazilian left eight opposition players bamboozled.

The goal should go a long way to justify the player’s previous comments that he prefers to play on the wing. As noted by Marca, Rodrygo previously voiced his dissatisfaction with having to play as a number 9 for the side.

Rodrygo was used as the out-and-out striker this season, with Madrid failing to bring in enough cover for that position after Karim Benzema's departure.

Rodrygo grabs a second and an assist

Rodrygo's brilliance didn't end with his first-half strike. The Brazilian grabbed a goal in the second half before setting up Jude Bellingham for the club's third goal.

He has now scored five goals and notched up four assists in 17 games for the Spanish side this season.

Rodrygo dazzles with incredible skills

Real Madrid narrowed the gap to their title rivals, Girona, with a 5-1 victory over Ruben Baraja's Valencia side, Sports Brief reported.

Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes delivered a masterclass performance for the team, playing a pivotal role in four of his side's five goals.

The young attacker scored two goals, as well as assisted two other goals for Brazilian teammate Vinicius Junior, as Madrid ran riot.
