Real Madrid were on Wednesday sent out in pokalmørket of the arch-rivals from FC Barcelona, after they had been looking for a good starting point in the first match with a 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp.
Kongeklubben had otherwise game-over and waded in scoring opportunities, but had to after the match anyway on with – the a bit misleading digits 0-3.
If Real Madrid should have a rematch, when Barcelona on Saturday again guests the Santiago Bernabeu, they simply have to kick some ball in the box.
But compared with past seasons is Real Madrid far behind on the goals front, and there’s one obvious reason for: Cristiano Ronaldo is away.
In Ronaldo’s time at the club sliced Real Madrid 113 goals in all tournaments at this point in the season. In this season, Real Madrid only scored 87 goals, that is all 26 goals fewer than the average with Ronaldo on the team.
Many anticipated that the Madrid club would blow up the bank and find a direct replacement for the portugiseren, when he in the summer switched to Juventus. But the Real let the wallet be in your pocket, and gambled instead on the material that was in the squad already.
Attackers to take over Ronaldo’s goal-legacy, count Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Mariano Diaz, Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Junior, and the combined average scored 0,88 goals per. battle in La Liga this season. Ronaldo cut ONLY 0.90 goals per. battle in the league last season. Målproblemerne at madrilenerne is therefore to get an eye on.

One of the players, which was intended to serve as a Ronaldo replacement, welsh Gareth Bale, which in the past five seasons has stood in the shadow of portugiseren. But the 29-year-old Bale has not grabbed the chance in Ronaldo’s absence and has had to spend many minutes on the bench. Instead, Santiago Solari bet on the young Vinicius Junior and Spanish Lucas Vazquez.

the Club also had to be nervous about, that Solaris wager with the young players and to opt-out of profiles such as Isco, Bale and Asensio is a little too future-oriented. Klubpræsident Florentino Perez believes, according to the media, that there is no time to think of the future, when you have just suffered a painful to its bitter rivals.
however, There is nothing that suggest that Santiago Solari will change its approach, although there is pressure on his shoulders.
– The players who do it best are those who play, say, Santiago Solari to Marca.
