The Spain international accused referee Robert Jones of not being "neutral" in City's 2-2 draw on 1 February.
The Football Association said Rodri admitted a charge that he "acted in an improper manner during a post-match media interview by making comments that imply bias and/or question the integrity of a match official and/or match officials".
Rodri was angry that referee Robert Jones allowed Dominic Solanke's goal to stand after he appeared to kick through the leg of City defender Marc Guehi.
"I know we won too much and the people don't want us to win, but the referee has to be neutral," Rodri said after the game.
"It's not fair because we work so hard. When everything is finished, you are frustrated."
