Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes ended an 11-month La Liga goalless drought by scoring a crucial goal, assisted by Vinícius Júnior, to help his side secure a vital victory against Deportivo Alavés.
A key member of Real Madrid’s attacking line, Rodrygo, has finally ended a significant goalless drought in La Liga, snapping an 11-month streak.
The Brazilian forward’s crucial goal came on Sunday during the league fixture against Deportivo Alavés, marking a timely return to form in the final third.
The strike helped Real Madrid retake the lead in a hard-fought encounter, ultimately proving vital for the side.
Rodrygo’s pivotal goal was a result of excellent link-up play with his compatriot Vinícius Júnior. Vinícius drove skillfully into the box before delivering a precise cut-back pass to the Brazilian, who finished to restore his team’s advantage.
This crucial goal ended his lengthy La Liga scoring run, which had stretched since the previous calendar year.
The match was an important one for Real Madrid, who needed a victory to keep pace with La Liga leaders Barcelona. The team has been under pressure following a shaky run of form.
Rodrygo’s ability to score, especially alongside Kylian Mbappé who also found the net, provided a much-needed morale boost and secured three crucial points for the title challenge.
