Rodrygo Finally Ends His Goal Drought, Scores after THIS Many Games

As things stand, Xabi Alonso's job is currently on the line as Real Madrid are currently on the verge of another defeat, since they are trailing 1-2 against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. The Spaniard could be on his way out of Madrid if he fails to take away a positive result from this game.

However, there is some sort of a good news for one of the Los Blancos players, and his name is Rodrygo. The Brazilian has finally ended his goal drought. He scored in the 28th minute to give his side the lead, which they ultimately blew away due to two horrendous defensive errors within the first half.

Rodrygo Scores After 32 Matches; Continues his Hot Streak Against Cityzens

This Rodrygo goal drought lasted for a whopping 32 games, as his last goal for the Los Blancos came in the Round of 16 match against city-rivals Atletico Madrid last season. Most of the Rodrygo goals in the UEFA Champions League have come against Manchester City, as the Brazilian has managed to bag four in total as of now, while assisting twice.

Rodrygo vs Man City has always been an interesting matchup as the Brazilian has always been a thorn for the 2022/23 UCL winners. Rodrygo was instrumental in Real Madrid's comeback in the 2021/22 UCL semifinal 2nd leg, where he scored two goals in just two minutes to bring the Los Blancos back from the dead.

Rodrygo seems to have finally found his feet, which will be instrumental in shaping Real Madrid's season, as the Los Blancos are currently going through a rough patch. The Brazilian's return to form might just save Xabi Alonso's job, and who knows, might give his team the edge in every competition they are competing in.
