Brazil have a new in-form no.🔟 for the November internationals

Rodrygo steps up for Brazil in Copa Libertadores final win

Real Madrid star Rodrygo scored the winning goal as Flamengo beat Athletico Paranaense 1-0 in the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday. The 21-year-old forward met Everton Ribeiro's cross with a first-time finish in the second half to secure Flamengo's third Copa Libertadores title in four years.

Rodrygo's goal was his fifth in six games for Flamengo since joining the club on loan from Real Madrid in July. The Brazil international has been in impressive form for the Brazilian giants, and his performance in the Copa Libertadores final will have given Selecao coach Tite a timely boost ahead of the November internationals.

Rodrygo's form could earn him a place in Brazil's World Cup squad

Tite is set to name his Brazil squad for the November internationals later this month, and Rodrygo's recent form could see him earn a place in the team. The Selecao are without Neymar, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and Rodrygo could be the man to fill the void left by the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

Rodrygo has already made two appearances for Brazil, scoring one goal, and he will be hoping to add to his tally in the November internationals. The 21-year-old is a versatile forward who can play on either wing or as a central striker, and his ability to score goals and create chances would make him a valuable asset to Tite's team.

Conclusion

Rodrygo's form for Flamengo has been nothing short of sensational, and he is now a genuine contender to start for Brazil at the World Cup. The 21-year-old has all the qualities needed to be a top player, and he will be looking to make a big impact for the Selecao in the November internationals.
