Manchester City midfielder has charged his teammates to go for maximum points in the title clash against Arsenal this weekend.
This weekend's clash between Manchester City and Arsenal promises to be one of the hottest games of the weekend, across Europe, as the outcome could have ramifications for the title race.
Despite Arsenal's current status as league leaders, City midfielder Rodri has stressed the pivotal role of the players' mindset in shaping the game's result.
Rodri, a standout performer for City throughout the season, highlights the importance of mental fortitude as the reigning champions prepare to face Mikel Arteta's high-flying Gunners.

“In terms of points, there are still nine games, so even if we draw or lose nothing is done, but we know with the difference right now, we must win,” he told Sky Sports
“I encourage my team on Sunday to be completely focused and know that if we beat them it will be hard for them and better for us in the title race,” he added.
A win for either side could significantly boost their chances, but Liverpool remain in the mix and will fancy their chances in Jurgen Klopp's farewell season.
