Rodri didn’t see it coming. 🤣 The Manchester City midfielder and 2024 Ballon d’Or winner went on holiday to Ibiza with his partner Laura Iglesias, a doctor training to become a surgeon whom he met at university.
Everything was normal until a camera caught them walking hand in hand just as Rodri turned his head to look at another woman passing nearby.
The photo is identical to the ‘distracted boyfriend’ meme, that internet classic since 2015. Users were quick to connect the dots: if there is anyone trained to ‘scan’ the field before making a play, it is Rodri himself.
Some laughed, thinking that not even at the beach can he switch off footballer mode. Others did not find it funny and called it disrespectful to Laura.
Amid rumours of a transfer to Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, Rodri now has another headline he did not expect: that of the boyfriend who scans even in Ibiza. 👀
