“The Barca man has shortened to 2/1 after being quoted at 7/2 earlier this morning, with long-time favourite Ousmane Dembele going the other way in the market, out from 1/6 to 2/7.
“Could we see a scenario similar to last year, where Rodri was a surprise winner over long-time favourite Vinicius Junior, with Yamal and Dembele?”
