Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is enduring the most challenging spell of his career, having now gone 30 consecutive matches without finding the back of the net, the longest goalless run ever recorded by a striker at the club. According to data shared by liveherewego, the Brazilian has gone 1,339 minutes without scoring, with his last goals coming on March 4 against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and January 19 in La Liga against Las Palmas.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso has shifted the dynamics of Real Madrid’s attack. With the team adjusting to new tactical ideas and increased competition for places, Rodrygo has not enjoyed many opportunities to start. Even in the limited chances he has received, the 23-year-old has struggled to capitalise, often appearing short of confidence in decisive moments. His sharp movement and link-up play remain evident, but the finishing touch, once a crucial part of his game, has deserted him.
Rodrygo’s dip in form can also be traced back to a difficult period last season, when he reportedly faced mental and personal challenges off the pitch. Though he has worked hard to recover stability, the pressure of performing at a club of Real Madrid’s stature has only intensified with this prolonged drought.
