Real Madrid’s DNA test always showed attack. The best always chose it, so with a “weapon” offensive football reached 14 Champions League trophies and… countless titles. That is how it was done the most successful club on the planet.
The years passed, the bakery of “Galactic» and his era Cristiano Ronaldo they remained in history. Modern football requires new conditions and the “Queen” adapted to them.
This year the defense she is the one who leads his team Carlo Ancelotti. After the “clean” victory over Alaves at the end of the match, it is the third time in history, which the “meringues” barely accept eleven or fewer goals in 18 matches. The previous two times were during the seasons 1961/62 with 10 goals against and 1971/72 with 11. In both, he finished first in the standings.
11 – @realmadriden have conceded just 11 goals in LaLiga 2023/24? it is the third time in history that Real Madrid have conceded 11 or fewer goals after the first 17 games of a league campaign, following 1961/62 (10) and 1971/72 (11), ending champions in both campaigns.

A statistic that may offer some kind of reassurance to the friends of the “Blancos”, in fear of her “miracle” Girona. Of course, the aggression of Real Madrid is inversely proportional. He finished the first half against Alaves with a 0.22 expected goals percentage. Second worst performance after 0.14 in the first 45 minutes of the “classic” with Barcelona! With Vinicius absent, who is the “tip of the spear”, he attempted just four shots, two of them on target. The cynicism that characterizes her this year gave her the three points in both cases.
0.22 – @realmadriden have generated 0.22 Expected Goals in first half against Alaves, their second lowest tally in first 45 minutes of the game in @LaLigaEN this season, only behind 0.14 xG recorded against Barcelona. Incapacity. pic.twitter.com/gORbroGPwQ
