The Spaniard enjoyed playing in front of the 5,000 travelling Whites fans, who were loud throughout in support of their side.

“I think everyone is looking forward to playing with the fans again,” Rodrigo explained.

“We played with fans for the last two games of last season and it was really good for everyone. It’s good to be back and to play with them in the stadium.”

The trip to Ewood Park was the first game of pre-season for Rodrigo and many of his teammates, and the forward thought it was a good work-out as they continue their preparations.

He said: “It was the first game of our pre-season and we have been working really hard for the first three weeks.

“For the legs it was a little bit heavy, but I think it was a good game and it was another step for us to arrive in the best conditions in the first game of the league.

“I think pre-season is good to win the games and feel good, but it is true that it is just another training for the important thing which is next season.

“We have another game on Friday and another one on Saturday, it’s another step to help us to arrive in the best conditions.”
