Bodø/Glimt led Manchester City 3-1, nearing a significant upset. Rodri received two yellow cards within a minute, resulting in a red card and his expulsion. This leaves City with ten men and Rodri will miss their crucial final group game against Galatasaray.
Bodø/Glimt are less than 25 minutes away from one of the biggest shocks in Champions League history.
Leading Manchester City 3-1, they are now facing 10 men after Rodri was sent off after two bookings inside a minute.

Having pulled a goal back through Rayan Cherki, the last thing Pep Guardiola needed was for his captain and most experienced player to lose his composure.
There was just 54 seconds between the Spaniard's two obvious bookings and it capped a truly miserable night for the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner.
Rodri's red card means he will miss City's pivotal final group game against Galatasaray but on recent viewing, it's hard to say that he will be missed.
The one-time best midfielder in the world sadly looks a shell of his pre-ACL knee injury peak and you could say he personifies City's decline in that time.
