Rodrygo Goes, the Brazilian forward for Real Madrid, is enduring a prolonged scoring drought, raising concerns over his future at the Spanish capital. His last goal came nearly nine months ago during the Champions League Round of 16 clash against Atlético Madrid. Since that moment, the 22-year-old has played in 30 matches without finding the back of the net, a run that now ties him with teammate Mariano Díaz for the longest goal drought in the club’s history.
On Sunday, Rodrygo was introduced as a substitute in the 72nd minute against Girona in La Liga. Despite his efforts, he failed to break his goalless spell, extending the barren period that has put his once-promising form under scrutiny. Of the 30 matches during this interval, Rodrygo started 13 times and came off the bench in 17, contributing only three assists in this stretch.
Real Madrid coach Luis Alonso has maintained confidence in Rodrygo, frequently selecting him for matchday squads and giving him opportunities to regain his scoring touch. Nonetheless, with a prolonged inability to score, speculation is mounting that the forward could face reduced playing time or even a potential transfer if he does not return to form soon.
Since joining Real Madrid, Rodrygo has accumulated a total of 68 goals in 285 appearances across all competitions. While these numbers reflect a respectable career thus far, the current drought underscores the unpredictable nature of football, even for talented players at elite clubs. Analysts and fans alike are closely monitoring his performance, hoping for a return to the consistency that earned him acclaim.
