Real Madrid star Rodrygo this evening etched his name into the club’s history books, for altogether unwanted reasons.
This comes after the Brazilian’s staggering stretch without a goal continued…
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with minnows Elche.
Late in proceedings in Alicante, though, Los Blancos find themselves trailing by a goal to nil.
The aforementioned Rodrygo was for his part afforded a rare start for the matchup, a chance to impress Xabi Alonso and his staff.
As alluded to above, however, another largely ineffective performance saw the 24-year-old fail the test once again.
And in the process, Rodrygo made history…
As revealed by statistician MisterChip on ‘X’:
‘Rodrygo becomes the THIRD FORWARD in the ENTIRE history of Real Madrid to link 29+ CONSECUTIVE OFFICIAL MATCHES WITHOUT SCORING.’
This run, all told, has now lasted a hefty 1,321 minutes.
