Real Madrid needs its main offensive players to begin to recover their scoring ability. In this sense, one of the main players highlighted is Rodrygo Goes, whose goals have been missed in Carlo Ancelotti's team

The Real Madrid is confronting a problem that saw come from the first moments of the past market of summer: the fault of 'gunpowder' in the forward. This evidence in a very particular register: of the 12 goals that has marked the combined merengue in this campaign 2023/2024, only four have been annotated by forwards, whereas the eight remaining have been work of the midfield players.

This register puts to the discovered the difficulties that is experiencing the forward of the white group, whose performance has not been very stood out, especially after the injury of Vinicius Júnior against the Celtic of Vigo. The '7' is the main referent in the forward of the cast of Chamartín. In this sense, after the game of the 'carioca', the offensive responsibility, in theory, recaía in Rodrygo Goes, a player that showed his potential the past season, but that in this period has not attained to show his best level.

Rodrygo And his drought goleadora

The native of Osasco, the one who in the campaign 2022/2023 accumulated 19 goals and 11 assistances, has not attained to assume the offensive weight of the Real Madrid, unlike what has done, for example, Jude Bellingham. Although the '11' annotated the first goal of the merengues in LaLiga 2023/2024, has not gone back to convert targets since, crossing an unusual drought of six meetings without agitating the networks.

In addition to the statistical appearances, Rodrygo seems not having luck in the terrain of game. Although it sees him with impetus, trying mark of all the possible forms, even with the bad fortune of a balloon to the stick against the Union Berlin, seems to be entirely unlucky of face to the goal. It will be necessary to see if with the return of Vinicius Júnior his situation can change when having a different mate to his side.
