Manchester City midfielder Rodri was delighted for Julian Alvarez after victory over Burnley.
Alvarez struck twice as City won 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Rodri said: “I’m so happy for him. What a good way to celebrate his birthday. He’s been brilliant this season. Of course, he’s a goalscorer.
“We need everyone, I am very happy for Erling [Haaland] to come back, John [Stones] also, Kevin [De Bruyne] as well. We need all of them. We are stronger when we are all together.”
He added: “I think we started very good. We didn’t give them options. The third goal in the second half, very early, allowed us to play more at the very end.”
