The 28-year-old has been a constant presence in Luis de la Fuente's starting lineup, playing in every game except the third group match against Albania.
Rodri pinpoints England's 'danger' man
With just one win away from clinching the Henri Delaunay trophy, Rodri is wary of one English player who could hinder their chances.
Despite acknowledging that the Three Lions are stacked with a myriad of talents, he specifically highlighted Phil Foden, his club teammate at Man City, as a potential headache.
"They have a lot of them. I love Phil Foden because I know him, he's with me," he told Spanish publication AS.
The defensive midfielder also added, "He's a player who has to be kept under control because he has an innate ability to move in a small space.
"But there are many players who can do a lot of damage.
While singling out Foden, Rodri emphasised that his and Spain's focus won't be limited to just one player as they prepare for an epic game.
"I don't like to focus on one player. I like to take a complete picture of England. And we go with our weapons, one on one."
Foden has had ups and downs during the tournament, but he was exceptional in the semi-final, hitting the post and finding pockets of space, per GOAL.
Southgate warned ahead of Spain final
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh issued a warning to Gareth Southgate and England ahead of their 2024 European Championship final against Spain.
The Three Lions, against all odds and eyes by the fans, reached the final of Euro 2024 after beating the Netherlands 2-1 in the second semi-final thanks to Ollie Watkins’ late goal.
Oliseh noted that the Spanish team was different from the sides England had faced earlier in the competition as Spain are the highest-rated team in the tournament, with a rating of 6.92 and the only team to win all three group-stage games.
