# Manchester City: Rodri’s comments on title race make supporters gush

**After putting in a scintillating display during Manchester City’s [4-1 hammering of Burnley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrNNRgRvoPo) at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening, Rodri wasn’t finished endearing himself to the Sky Blues faithful – going on to say City have every chance of retaining the title despite being 11 points behind.**

The Spaniard was at the very centre of their brilliant win at Burnley, [scoring a thunderbolt](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/12/03/video-rodris-rocket-strike-puts-man-city-3-0-up-against-burnley/) to put City firmly in control after Gabriel Jesus bagged a brace – with Riyad Mahrez going on to finish the contest with a cool finish.

Even without his top draw strike, Rodri would’ve undoubtedly been a Man of the Match contender for his [commanding presence](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1212687/Man-City-player-ratings-Burnley-Jesus-Silva-De-Bruyne) in midfield – regaining possession countless times and keeping his side on the front foot for most of the game.

Speaking [after the match via Man City Xtra](https://twitter.com/superbiaproeiia/status/1201991982400376832?s=21), he was asked what chance his side have of retaining the title this season – responding with a firm ‘All of it’.

As a result, supporters were quick to heap praise on the former Atletico Madrid man – here’s what they had to say on Twitter.
