Ricardo Iván Rodríguez Araya (born 25 August 1992) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a left back for Vfl Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.

Born to a Spanish father and a Chilean mother, Rodríguez began his professional career at local club FC Zürich in 2010, having spent eight years in the youth setup. After breaking through into the first team at Zürich, Rodríguez was sold to VfL Wolfsburg in January 2012 for £7.5 million.He has been described as an accomplished defender and is noted for his strong heading ability,[3] and ability to deliver pinpoint crosses. Rodríguez is also noted for his speciality in dead-ball situations and for penalty-taking abilities, emerging as Wolfsburg’s first-choice penalty taker.

Rodríguez has earned caps at every level of the Swiss national team setup, winning the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2009. A full international for Switzerland since 2011, Rodríguez has earned over 40 caps for the country. He was part of the Swiss team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and later that year was voted Swiss Footballer of the Year.

Rodríguez played the full 90 minutes of Wolfsburg’s victory over Bayern Munich in the 2015 DFL-Supercup on 1 August, scoring their first attempt in the penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw.

On 6 April 2016, as Wolfsburg hosted Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the season’s Champions League, Rodríguez scored a penalty to open a surprise 2–0 victory. By sending Keylor Navas the wrong way, he was the first player to score against Real’s goalkeeper in the tournament for 738 minutes.
