Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has sung the praises of Rodrygo.

Rodrygo struck twice in Real's Champions League win against Chelsea this week.

Morientes said: "Rodrygo entered the XI by shooting on goal, as did (Fede) Valverde. He reaches the last third of the league in an extraordinary moment.

"He is one of the players who Real Madrid must have among the three strikers. He's fast... He's light. I saw him live in Cadiz and the feeling he gives you is that he's floating.

"In every action he makes, he's one point ahead of the his opponent and this allows him to gain space."
