Real Madrid is still in bad shape when it comes to scoring. Since Cristiano left, the team has seen that the average drop considerably to reach 1.8 goals per game.
When you have a natural striker par excellence, everything goes smoothly. Matches are won thanks to his performance and that gives you a plus over the rest of the teams. Madrid had it at the time, but not anymore.
Now, Real Madrid are struggling to get wins without the differentiating character of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese man, Real Madrid’s star player for quite some time, decided to leave to start a new adventure in Juventus.
The Madeira native left a little more than 15 months ago to Italy and Madrid lost its great figure, which caused a very important decline at the goalscoring level.
The average goal per match has considerably dropped since Cristiano Ronaldo left. Last season, Los Blancos did not exceed 140 goals for the first time and remained at 1.84 goals per game.
A surprising number when we look at previous years when the average even reached 2.83 goals per game and the goals comfortably exceeded the 140 per season.
Cristiano’s streak is now behind him and Benzema is taking on the role of his former team-mate, but he doesn’t reach the scandalous levels of the now Juventus player, who scored 450 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid.
In just two months of competition, Madrid adds 16 goals and the average is 1.8, so at the moment a low of 0.04 compared to 2018-19.
Messi already said it in the interview granted to ‘RAC1’ this Wednesday. The Argentinean ‘crack’ was sure that Cristiano’s departure would end up damaging the Madrid giants.
