Real Madrid has been struggling for too long to find the net for a team of its stature. Cádiz took advantage of this losing streak in front of goal and left the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Saturday with the three points.
This is also not new, especially this season. The Whites drew goalless in their first game of the season against Real Sociedad and only beat Real Valladolid by a single goal.
Last time around, Thibaut Courtois was frequently called into action to protect a one-goal lead against Levante at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Karim Benzema didn’t score the second away goal until injury time in the second half.
Not counting the three goals against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín Stadium, one of them an own goal and another from a penalty, Real Madrid have scored three goals in four games in LaLiga Santander this season, which is a worrying statistic.
When it comes to team selection, Zinedine Zidane keeps picking and changing, seeking to find the right balance for Benzema to work up front, although the forward has yet to find his best form this season.
Since the team does not pose a great threat to the goal, they can no longer rely on their defense and their goalkeeper for results. Against Cádiz, Courtois was exposed too many times during the first half.
Contributions
Vinicius Junior is Real Madrid’s top scorer this season, but has only managed to score twice. Their top scorer in the last two seasons, Benzema, has only one goal this season.
With the other two goals this season from Sergio Ramos and Fede Valverde, none of Real Madrid’s other attackers have contributed.
Zidane had Benzema, Vinicius, Luka Jovic and Marco Asensio on the pitch at the same time against Cádiz but there was no way to score for the whites.
The lack of offensive performance suggests that Real Madrid may have to enter the transfer market when the economic climate permits.
While Real Madrid continues to struggle to score goals, names like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland will continue to appear.
