Rodrygo: Real Madrid won't let me talk about Messi

Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes admits the club has told him not to discuss his row with Lionel Messi.

The pair clashed before Brazil's World Cup qualifying defeat to Argentina last week.

After their Champions League win against Napoli, Rodrygo was asked about his Messi clash, but said: "I can't talk about that, Madrid won't let me." [laughs]

On his goal last night, Rodrygo said: "It was a great goal, after a play that I really like to make. It's difficult to score more goals than [Jude] Bellingham, but we don't have a competition. "What we both want is to help the team.

"I worked when things didn't go well for me and now that they go well, the same thing. "We have to keep working. I want to continue on the good streak and forget what happened."
