Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes is enduring one of the most challenging periods of his career, with his form having sharply declined over the last year.
The 24-year-old endured a difficult end to last season under Carlo Ancelotti and spent the summer surrounded by transfer rumours, but ultimately chose to remain at the Bernabéu and prove himself to new manager Xabi Alonso.
However, his situation has only worsened.
Rodrygo has now set an unwanted club record following the recent match against Girona. The Brazilian has officially gone the longest run without scoring by any Real Madrid forward, measured by both appearances and minutes played.
He is now 30 matches without a goal in all competitions, totalling 1,339 minutes since he last found the net.
His most recent goal came on March 4, against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. His last La Liga strike was even earlier — January 19 versus Las Palmas.
For now, Rodrygo’s goalless streak matches that of former striker Mariano Díaz, who also endured 30 scoreless games, though Mariano reached that number in 986 minutes.
Behind them is Rafa Marañón, who failed to score across 29 matches and 1,426 minutes back in 1970.
If Rodrygo fails to score in his next appearance, he will surpass Mariano and hold the record outright — the longest goal drought by a forward in the history of Real Madrid.
