A spokesman for the Spanish club refuted the report and confirmed that Rodrygo is fit for Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg at home to Atalanta, adding the club was investigating the hack.

 

Spanish newspaper Marca said the club’s website and Twitter account had been hacked, adding the player was unaware of the report when his father told him about it and had been sleeping when the false statement was published.

 

Madrid have since published a new article to the website confirming Zinedine Zidane’s 19-man squad for the European tie with Atalanta.
