Rodrygo becomes redundant at Real Madrid

Alexander-Arnold's assist helps Real reach the quarterfinals. In the early morning of July 2, in the match of the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, Real defeated Juventus 1-0 to enter the quarterfinals.

In the early morning of July 2, Rodrygo sat on the bench and did not play a single minute in Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Juventus in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. This was the third consecutive match in which the Brazilian striker did not start for the first team.

Of the 360 minutes Real Madrid played in the tournament, Rodrygo played just 88. He featured in the matches against Al Hilal and Salzburg, but was completely absent from the squad for the group stage match against Pachuca.

The statistics also show that Rodrygo is in poor form. The striker has not scored for Real Madrid since the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atlético Madrid on March 5.

Rodrygo has not scored in La Liga since January. The last time he scored for Real Madrid was against Las Palmas. Rodrygo's scoring form is alarming, causing his confidence and influence at the Bernabeu to gradually disappear.

While Rodrygo has faded into obscurity, other players are emerging. Gonzalo García has been a revelation at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™, scoring three goals in four games so far, putting him at the top of the club's scoring charts.

García has become an interesting discovery, directly threatening Rodrygo's place in the competition. Three important goals in the matches that defeated Al Hilal, RB Salzburg (group stage) and most recently Juventus (round of 16), along with an assist, showed that the young striker not only knows how to finish off opponents but also set up teammates.

Coach Alonso tried to calm the situation by saying that Rodrygo was still training well and waiting for the opportunity to return. However, the current situation shows that the Brazilian striker seems to be out of the game at the Bernabeu.

According to Fichajes , "Los Blancos" expect to earn around 90 million euros if they sell Rodrygo, in case the striker decides to leave in the current transfer window.
