Real Madrid’s defeat against Atlético in the derby highlighted the white team’s shortcomings. It was the worst scenario to fall, because it was the first commitment of emotional and tactical demand for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, on which all eyes turned. The consequence of a relationship validated with asterisks since last season. The Italian changed his plans and opted for what was his ‘original sin’, with Modric and Kroos to start. The German scored the only goal for a team that is waiting recover the path of victory against UD Las Palmas (today, 7:00 p.m.).
Once again it had to be a midfielder who lit the fuse of a team that to date has survived thanks to the interventionism of Jude Bellingham. Meanwhile, the LaLiga scoring table is led by a former Real Madrid player like Morata, author of a double in the derby (five goals in total) and includes other players who have worn the white shirt: Arribas (Almería, four goals); Kubo (Real Sociedad, four goals); Borja Mayoral (Getafe, three); Hugo Duro (Valencia, three); and Willian José (Betis, three).
From Bellingham’s “bad” kick to Alaba’s fight against Camavinga
Rodrygo, the third worst scorer in Europe
Of the eleven goals scored by Real Madrid, almost half (5) have been the work of Bellingham, the English ‘rescuer’, who experienced his worst performance against Atlético in his short time as a Real Madrid player. He did it out of position and concluded the duel with a dangerous tackle on Correa. The second in this index is Joselu, the only center forward that Ancelotti has, author of two goals. The other four are distributed, one per number: the aforementioned Kroos, Valverde, Vinicius y Rodrygo.
The situation that this last player is going through is symptomatic of Real Madrid’s lack of success against the rival team. He scored the first goal in LaLiga this season against Athletic. From there, a galloping drought that has ended in frustration. According to Opta data, Rodrygo has scored only one goal after 25 shots in LaLiga.
His success rate in front of goal is 4%, which makes him the third player who has scored the goal with the worst record in the five major European leaguess. They only present worse data Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) y God bless you (Crystal Palace), with a 3.9% success rate after having tried their luck in 26 attempts, of which only one was successful.
Arsenal and France’s tight records
Rodrygo’s is a case that exemplifies, but is by no means an exception at Real Madrid. According to the statistics provided by the same company, the white team has one of the worst effectiveness percentages.
If the top five finishers in LaLiga, Premier, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are taken as a reference, Ancelotti’s team is last in success, with 12.8% of shots on goal ending in a goal. The eleven goals scored by Real Madrid this campaign have been the result of 86 shots.
In the First, Arsenal has taken 62 shots on goal and scored 11 goals, which translates into a percentage of 17.74%. Of the five best classified in Italy, Italians are below 20% Juventus (19,64%), Inter (19,18%) y Lecce (17,78%).
Among the teams that are leading in France (the surprising leader Stade Brestois has 10.96% effectiveness) there are also poor records. Although it is being a circumstance co-substantial with the category in which the fewest goals have been scored in the first six days: 8.44 per team compared to 8.65 in Spain.
LaLiga is in an average position in this statistic, improved by the Premier (9.05) and the Bundesliga (9.11), but also surpassing Italy, which has the worst record, with 6.65 goals per club.
Atlético, leader in scoring in LaLiga
Real Madrid also does not fare well compared to the best-positioned teams in LaLiga. Compared to its 12.8% effectiveness, FC Barcelona presents 21.05% (16 goals in 76 shots on goal) and co-leader Girona raises that mark to 28.5% (16 goals in 56 attempts).
An unstoppable Girona overwhelms Mallorca
The statistics of the Atléticowith 29.5% accuracy (13 scores in 44 attempts, seven in Vallecas) while the Athletic It is also better than Real Madrid, with a rate of 20% (11 goals in 55 shots). The differences in this section between the Madrid teams were reflected in the Metropolitano, where the statistics reflect 10 – 20 shots in favor of Real Madrid4 – 5 if they limit themselves to goal and 1 – 3 for the final score.
The decline in scoring records is just one of the tasks to be amended by Ancelotti who must aspire to everything, as his position requires. Although it was the one that was expressly highlighted after the departure of Karim Benzema.
Coldly, the statistics gave an ambivalent calculation. The Frenchman and Asensio, another of those who scored in the summer, left a gap of 42 points that the arrivals of Joselu, Bellingham y Brahim they made up for 41 in their joint file.
The lost forwards: from Morata to Mayoral
But this was far from mathematical logic. Real Madrid are missing a goal and to make matters worse they see how the LaLiga scorers table includes men who have worn their shirt. This does not mean they would have a place in the current system, but it does show that the ‘Factory’ trained players with a sense of smell.
After his double at the Metropolitano, Morata became the top scorer and is having a sweet moment, with five goals in six games, the captaincy of the national team and an important role in which he finally feels comfortable. The Madrid native found his place outside of Real Madrid, as has Take Kubo, of which the white club still owns 50% of the rights to him.
The Japanese forward has four goals so far this season. They are the same ones that he treasures Sergio Arriveswho during this summer market decided to go to Almería after finding himself trapped, like so many, in the funnel that is Castilla.
One of Arribas’ goals was, precisely, against Real Madrid, against whom another former player also scored. Borja Mayoral, who has three goals with Getafe. The same ones that Hugo Duro (Valencia) and Willian José (Betis), who also went through the white quarry. Names that will not return, unlike what Ancelotti hopes will happen with the lost goals.
