The last few weeks have tested Real Madrid in multiple ways across LaLiga EA Sports, but no storyline has become as worrying as the one surrounding Rodrygo Goes. A player who typically acts as a dynamic link in the attack has slipped into one of the most uncomfortable stretches any striker can endure. His drought is no longer just alarming — it has entered historic territory at the club.

How Many Minutes Has Rodrygo Gone Without Scoring?

The number is tough to absorb for any forward, especially one wearing white: 1,339 minutes without a goal.
Rodrygo’s last celebration came on March 4, against Atlético de Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. In LaLiga, his most recent goal dates back even further — January 19 versus Las Palmas.

Since then, match after match has passed without the Brazilian finding the net. The timing of this drought has coincided with Kylian Mbappé’s explosion in front of goal, Jude Bellingham’s continuous creative influence, and Vinícius Junior’s physical inconsistencies. That combination has left Rodrygo stuck in an uncomfortable space: heavy responsibility, constant pressure, and no reward.

Why Has This Drought Become Historic for Real Madrid?

Rodrygo’s streak isn’t just long — it’s unprecedented in modern club records.

With the 1–1 draw against Girona, he officially became the Real Madrid forward with the longest stretch without a goal since reliable data has existed. The closest comparison is Mariano Díaz, who went 986 minutes without scoring — nearly 400 fewer minutes than Rodrygo’s current tally.

Historical archives also mention Rafa Marañón, who in the 1970s endured 29 matches and 1,426 minutes without scoring. That mark seemed unreachable in the modern era… until now. Rodrygo is only 87 minutes away from surpassing it. Even coming off the bench late in the next match would put him on the verge of owning a record that no striker wants.

And the harsh reality is simple:
Every minute he plays without scoring deepens the streak.
Every match without a goal pushes him closer to a statistic that will follow him for years.

How Does This Affect Real Madrid’s Current Situation?

Madrid already had enough to worry about: defensive lapses, dropped points away from home, and renewed pressure from FC Barcelona in the league table. Rodrygo’s drought adds another layer — one of the three key attackers in Xabi Alonso’s structure is disconnected both from goals and, at times, from rhythm.

Even so, the coaching staff continues to back him.
Rodrygo is a player with a history of breaking bad streaks in sudden, dramatic fashion — Champions League nights, knockout rounds, late-game moments. The belief remains that one spark could flip everything.

But until that moment arrives, the conversation won’t go away.
Goal droughts at Real Madrid never stay quiet, and this one has already carved its name into club history… for all the wrong reasons.
