Rodri's Spain team won a major tournament, meaning the midfielder now holds the World Cup, European Championship, Champions League and Ballon d'Or, prompting the Guardian's Knowledge column to explore who else has achieved this rare "grand slam" of football honours. It turns out Rodri joins a small, elite group of players to have won all four, with the feat first accomplished over 50 years ago and only a handful of names managing it since.

Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller were the first to complete the set on 7 July 1974 when West Germany beat the Netherlands in the World Cup final, having already won the European Championship and Champions League with club and country. Zinedine Zidane matched it in 2002, followed by Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi, each with slight caveats over unused substitute appearances. Rodri became the latest addition on Sunday, completing the quartet faster than anyone bar Beckenbauer; the achievement remains unmatched in the women's game, largely because the Ballon d'Or Féminin is only seven editions old, though Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí could complete it at the 2029 European Championship.
