Euro 2024 Qualifier: Man City’s Rodri slams Scotland after Spain’s defeat

Spain captain Rodri has slammed Scotland, describing their approach to their Euro 2024 qualifier as “rubbish”.

Scotland beat Spain in the qualifier played at Hampden Park on Tuesday night with Manchester United’s Scott McTominay scoring both goals.

And Rodri accused Scotland of time-wasting and provocation during the defeat, which was the first defeat in the hands of Scotland for 39 years.

Rodri told Viaplay Sports: “It’s the way they play. You have to show respect at the end but for me it’s a bit rubbish because it’s always wasting time. They provoke you and they always fall.

“This for me is not football. For the speed of the sport you have to move on, but the referee has to take part in this and he says nothing.

“They waste time, waste time. But it is what it is.”
