Checked reel · 27 Oct 2026

FALSE

Michael Owen never made this statement, and the quote is completely fabricated.

Rodri plays for Manchester City, not Barcelona, meaning he does not even play in El Clásico. This fake quote was generated and circulated by engagement-bait social media accounts to trigger football fans. It throws together random player names and attributes fictional post-match commentary to Owen.
