According to a report by Barca Universal on Monday November 2, 2026, with five goals in nine matches against the Premier League team, Rodri has an outstanding record as a Barcelona midfielder against Aston Villa.

When Hansi Flick's team hosts Villa at Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, the summer signing will have another chance to continue his incredible run.

Rodri has troubled Aston Villa on multiple occasions with his offensive contributions, despite playing mostly as a defensive midfielder. He has scored five goals against the English side, making them his most frequent opponents throughout his career.

The results against Villa have also been very fruitful for the Spaniard. Eight of his nine matches against them have been victories for him, while the other match ended in a draw.

Rodri scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances for Manchester City against Villa. Even in their League Cup encounter, he managed to score once.

His effectiveness during attacking set-pieces was highlighted by the fact that three of his five goals were scored through headers. His goal in Manchester City's 2-1 League Cup final triumph over Aston Villa in March 2020 stands out.

In those nine matches, the Barcelona midfielder has also helped set up two goals. In anticipation of Tuesday's match, Flick's squad may find some extra motivation in his experience and stellar record against Villa.

When it comes to the same opponents, Anthony Gordon, a fellow summer signing for Barcelona, has a much worse record. While playing for Everton and Newcastle United, the winger faced Aston Villa on multiple occasions.

Gordon has only scored once and assisted once in twelve games played against the Premier League team. Out of those matches, he has a record of 4 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws.

After 13 meetings with Manchester City, Aston Villa are his second-most common opponents. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of offensive returns from his prior encounters.
