The Story in Brief
Ballon d'Or winner Rodri was photographed boarding a Ryanair flight from Madrid to Liverpool after Spain's World Cup triumph, wearing a cap and sunglasses but betrayed by his personalised suitcase. The airline's social media account tagged Argentina with the line “We only fly winners,” referencing Spain's recent international success over the rival nation.

The online frenzy around Rodri flying Ryanair has predictably split into two lazy narratives: either he is a humble genius or the airline scored a marketing masterstroke. In truth, a footballer taking a commercial flight is mundane. The real test will be whether Barcelona or City make his next transfer fee anywhere near as modest as his airfare.
