Rodrygo surpasses Real Madrid's worst goalscoring record

Rodrygo Goes has set an unprecedented record in the history of Real Madrid. The Brazilian, far from his best form, has gone 31 consecutive games without scoring, becoming the striker with the worst goal-scoring streak in the white club's history since its founding in 1902. The statistic, after the match in San Mamés against Athletic Club, is a severe blow to a player who was once decisive on European nights.

The contrast between the explosive Rodrygo, decisive in the unforgettable comeback against Manchester City in 2022, and the current one is enormous. Then he was one of Carlo Ancelotti's great game-changers; now he is experiencing a 2025 that has become a year to forget, marked by a lack of confidence, a lack of success, and a drop in performance that is worrying in Real Madrid circles.

Rodrygo signs the worst streak in 123 years of Real Madrid history

A 2025 without goals: the worst record for a white forward. The figure is as striking as it is revealing: since scoring his last goal on March 4 against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League round of 16, Rodrygo has not found the net again. His last league goal was even further back: January 19, at the Bernabéu against Las Palmas.

Since then, the Brazilian has surpassed all possible negative limits. The previous record belonged to Mariano Díaz, with 30 games without scoring. However, the former Real Madrid forward accumulated 986 minutes without finding the net. Rodrygo has now reached 1,351 minutes of drought, which further exacerbates the record.

Never before has a Real Madrid forward gone through such a prolonged streak without scoring. And the reality is that the situation not only affects his statistics but also the team's offensive performance, which is increasingly dependent on other players to generate danger.

Why Rodrygo Has Lost His Impact: Keys to a Historic Slump

Rodrygo's situation cannot be explained by a single factor. According to analysts and internal sources, several elements are combined:

• Disconnection with the offensive system: the team's new dynamics do not seem to favor his diagonal runs and arrival in the box.
• Loss of confidence: the prolonged lack of goals has generated visible doubts in his decisions.
• Internal competition: the emergence of new offensive profiles has reduced his margin for error.
• Irregular rhythm: minor injuries and rotations have affected his continuity.

With this cocktail, Rodrygo has progressively moved away from the level that led him to establish himself as one of the club's great hopes.

Mariano's Mirror and the Historical Weight of the Record

On the blacklist of negative streaks, Rodrygo already occupies first place. He surpasses names like Mariano, Jesé, or Soldado, but the comparison with the former Spanish-Dominican forward is the most direct in terms of number of games and minutes.

The difference is clear: Mariano was not part of the attacking core at Real Madrid. Rodrygo is. And that contrast is what turns this statistic into a relevant sporting problem for the white squad.

In his case, the streak comes at a key moment in the season, with the team competing in the Champions League and fighting for league positions. Each match without a goal increases media pressure and the debate about his real role in the squad.

Real Madrid Awaiting Rodrygo's Reaction

In Valdebebas, they maintain hope of recovering his best form. Rodrygo has shown the ability to overcome complex moments, but he had never dealt with such a long period without scoring. The technical staff's priority is to restore his confidence in areas where he was always more dangerous: the edge of the box, diagonal runs from the right, and arrivals at the far post.

The Brazilian, for his part, continues to work to reverse this devastating statistic. The club does not value his departure and continues to trust him in the medium term, but there is concern about his immediate progress

With the schedule tightening and the need for goals increasing, the Brazilian faces a huge challenge: to reinvent himself and prove that this devastating record will only be a parenthesis, not a label that accompanies him in the history of the white club.
