Real Madrid’s defeat against Atletico in the derby revealed the shortcomings of the white team. Relegation was the worst-case scenario because it was an emotionally and tactically challenging first commitment for Carlo Ancelotti’s team and all eyes were on him. The result of a relationship that has been confirmed by asterisks since last season. The Italian changed his plans and opted for the ‘original sin’ of starting Modric and Kroos. The German scores the only goal for the waiting team Re-open your path to victory against UD Las Palmas (today at 19.00).
Once again, it had to be a midfielder who ignited a team that survives to this day thanks to Jude Bellingham’s interventionism. Meanwhile, the LaLiga leaderboard is led by a former Madrid player like Morata, who scored the double in the derby (five goals in total), and includes other players wearing the white jersey: tops (Almería, four goals); kubo (Real Sociedad, four goals); Borja Mayoral (Getafe, three); Hugo Duro (Valencia, three); And Willian José (Betis, three).
Rodrygo is the third worst player in Europe
Almost half (5) of the 11 goals scored by Real Madrid were the work of English ‘savior’ Bellingham, who had his worst performance as a Real Madrid player in a short time against Atlético. He did this out of position and ended the duel with a dangerous tackle on Correa. Ranked second in this index JoseluThe only center forward Ancelotti has, he is the author of two goals. The other four are distributed one per issue: those mentioned above Kroos, Valverde, Vinicius And rodrygo.
The situation of this last player is an indicator of Real Madrid’s failure against the rival team. He scored his first goal in LaLiga this season against Athletic. From there it’s a galloping drought that ends in disappointment. According to Opta data, Rodrygo could only score one goal after 25 shots in LaLiga.
His success rate in front of goal is 4%, which makes him Third worst goal scorer in Europe’s top five leaguesQ. They just deliver worse data Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) achieved a success rate of 3.9% after trying their luck in 26 attempts, only one of which was successful.
Arsenal and France’s tight records
Rodrygo’s situation is exemplary, but certainly not an exception for Real Madrid. According to statistics provided by the same company, the white team has one of the worst effectiveness rates.
If the players who finished in the top five of LaLiga, Premier, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are taken as a reference, Ancelotti’s team ranks last in success, with 12.8% of shots on goal resulting in goals. The 11 goals scored by Real Madrid this season are the result of 86 shots.
In Premier, Arsenal had 62 shots on target and scored 11 goalsThis corresponds to a percentage of 17.74%. Of the five best classified in Italy, Italians account for less than 20% Juventus (19.64%), Inter (19.18%) and Lecce (17.78%).
Among the leading teams France (surprising leader Stade Brestois’ efficiency is 10.96%) there are also bad records. Although it is equally important as the category with the fewest goals 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. prime minister (9.05) and Bundesliga It also left behind Italy, which had the worst record with (9.11). 6.65 goals per club.
Atletico top scorer in La Liga
Real Madrid is also not doing well compared to LaLiga’s best-placed teams. Compared to 12.8% effectiveness, FC Barcelona offers 21.05% (16 goals on 76 shots) and co-leader Girona improves this rate to 28.5% (16 goals on 56 shots).
Statistics AthleticWith 29.5% accuracy (13 points in 44 attempts, seven points in Vallecas) Athletic They are also better than Real Madrid with a 20% rate (11 goals from 55 shots). The differences between Madrid teams in this section were also reflected in the Metropolitano, statistics reflect 10-20 shots in favor of Real Madrid4 – 5 if they limit themselves to goals and 1 – 3 in the final score.
The decline in scoring records is just one of the tasks that Ancelotti must change, as he must aim for everything his position entails. Although this was clearly emphasized after the departure of Karim Benzema.
Coldly, the statistics gave an uncertain calculation. The Frenchman and Asensio, another of the summer goal scorers, left a 42-point gap with those who arrived. Joselu, Bellingham and Brahim They made up 41 in their joint filing.
Missing 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 the men playing in LaLiga’s top scorers table. This does not mean that they will have a place in the current system, but it does show that the ‘Factory’ produces players with a sense of smell.
After his double at the Metropolitano, Morata became the top scorer with five goals in six matches and is having an enjoyable time. captaining the national team and finally an important role in which he felt comfortable. The Madrid man found his place outside Real Madrid, just like Take Kubo, to whom the white club still owns 50% rights.
The Japanese forward has four goals so far this season. They are the same people he cares about Sergio ArribasThis summer market, after finding himself stuck in the Castilla funnel like so many others, he decided to head to Almería.
One of Arribas’ goals was precisely against Real Madrid, where another former player also scored. Mayor of BorjaA football player who scored 3 goals for Getafe. the same ones Hugo Duro (Valencia) and Willian José (Betis), he also passed through the white quarry. Names that will not return as Ancelotti hoped would happen with the goals conceded.
