Rodrygo went from less to more this season. The double of goals and the assist in the victory against Cádiz on the last date confirms that that weak start is behind him and that he feels increasingly comfortable in the new scheme proposed by Carlo Ancelotti, with the Brazilian no longer so attached to the bands, but more centered and close to the rival area.
The footballer who emerged in Santos began the season with only one goal in the first 12 games, but the trust of the coach and the club, which renewed his contract until 2028, bore fruit. He has 5 conquests in the last three games, in a positive streak that was activated with the goal against Braga at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League.

The screams continued with doubles against Valencia and Cádiz in LaLiga, which added to the two he had achieved in the first 15 games, places him as the team’s second highest scorer with 7 in all competitions, only surpassed by the 13 achieved by Jude Bellingham.
At an individual level, the winger leads the team’s table in assists with 5, the greatest offensive generator with 127 opportunities created. And there’s even more: thanks to his combination of skill and speed, he is the second Real Madrid player who completed the most dribbles, with 33.
Real Madrid appreciates Rodrygo’s improvement
These achievements are felt by all of Merengue, who do not have players of the stature of Vinicius, Militão and Courtouis due to injury. Coinciding with Rodrygo’s scoring explosion, the white team has scored 11 goals in the last 3 games, an average of close to 4 per game. Almost double what the previous season record was until then, which stood at 1.9 average goals per game.

The club’s effectiveness numbers also improved a lot, going from a 10% shot conversion rate in the first 15 games to 23% in the last 3 games. Thanks to these figures, the Madrid team is leading in LaLiga along with Girona and has already secured its place in the next round of the Champions League.
