In the 15th round of La Liga, nine-man Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Celta Vigo at home, with Rodrygo failing to score after coming on as a substitute.
According to statistics, Rodrigo's consecutive goal drought (in official matches) at Real Madrid has now accumulated to 1387 minutes, spanning 32 matches.
This figure is only 29 minutes short of the longest goal drought record for a forward in Real Madrid's history.
Currently, the holder of this record is Rafa Maranon, who endured a 1,416-minute goal drought during his tenure at Real Madrid from 1968 to 1974, spanning 29 matches.
This means that if Rodrigo continues to fail to score goals in the upcoming matches, he will soon equal or even break the long-standing goal drought record for strikers held by this "veteran of yore".
It should be emphasized that Rodrigo has become a fringe substitute this season, and limited playing time has also affected his performance.

I support Rodrygo to go break that long standing record because that's what Xabi Alonso wants.

how do you expect someone sitting on the bench to score ?

I'm sure he's undergoing mental or emotional pressure. Rodrygo is easily one of the top 50 players right now. He'll bounce back soon.
