Gianluigi Donnarumma was under the spotlight in his first clash against Arsenal, with many fans previously wondering how he would handle playing at the Emirates.
The Italian keeper has made an immediate impact since joining City. Erling Haaland called him “amazing” after solid performances against both Manchester United and Napoli.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Rodri said Donnarumma’s presence gives him confidence on the pitch.
“He’s one of the best ‘keepers, one of the best in the world and of course, you just need five minutes to see what he’s going to give to the team. He’s massive, he can catch the ball in the air, he makes you confident about everything.
“He made an incredible save [to keep Bryan Mbeumo’s effort at bay] yesterday. He makes you [feel]…’I’m so chilled that he’s in there.’ We came from one of the best ‘keepers of this era with Eddie [Ederson], that was massive for us but now, I hope Donnarumma does the same thing because he does the same thing.
“Not for me, for the opponents, when you see the goal, when you see that guy in there, we’re so confident about it.”
