At Real Madrid, if there's one player causing the most worry, it's Rodrygo.

Since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, Rodrygo has been going through a dark spell at Real Madrid. The Brazilian forward has fallen silent since his last goal in March against Atletico Madrid. He is currently on a run of 30 consecutive matches without scoring, totaling 1,339 goalless minutes—one of the longest droughts in the club's attacking history. Only Rafa Marañón endured a longer dry spell at the end of the 1960s (1,416 minutes).

In La Liga, the situation is alarming. Rodrygo hasn't found the back of the net since January, accumulating around 1,040 minutes without a goal. The opportunities are there, but the finishing is missing, fueling a spiral that undermines his role and confidence in an environment where attacking pressure is relentless.
