Although the situation feels as tense as a BD Cricket Match entering its final overs, Rodrygo’s struggles at Real Madrid have reached a worrying stage, with his current run of 30 matches without a goal tying an unwanted record. Years ago, former No 7 Mariano also endured a similar drought, yet he managed to break it sooner and with better efficiency. From a purely statistical standpoint, Rodrygo has fallen short.

Complicating matters further, the young Brazilian finds almost no technical assurance that he can turn things around. With Alonso expected to continue building his attack around Mbappe and Vinicius, Rodrygo’s chances of reclaiming a starting role are slim. His form has dipped so noticeably that even he seems to have lost trust in his own ability. Scoring becomes a mountain to climb when confidence slips away, and Real Madrid’s tactical reset under Alonso appears to favor familiar patterns preferred by the club’s star players, leaving Rodrygo outside the main framework.

That system likely excludes him entirely, with Vinicius returning to a natural wide position, Valverde moving into a favored midfield role, and Bellingham gaining more freedom to attack from deeper areas. In contrast, Rodrygo looks increasingly like the odd man out, making it even harder for him to erase the humiliation of his goalless streak. From the outside, his situation resembles how momentum can vanish during a BD Cricket Match when a team suddenly falls out of rhythm.

Spanish media have not held back, criticizing the dramatic downturn of a player once hailed as a Bernabeu prodigy. Rodrygo had delivered decisive performances in crucial Champions League fixtures, making his decline this season even more striking. Reporters argue that he has effectively become a discarded option, receiving fewer and fewer minutes regardless of the match or tactical context. Losing confidence is perhaps the toughest blow a forward can take, and recovering from that psychological hit is never easy.

Lack of chances at Real Madrid spills into national team concerns as well. Carlo Ancelotti has made it clear that World Cup selection depends strictly on current form rather than past achievements. With young Endrick performing far better than Rodrygo at the moment, speculation naturally grows that Brazil may elevate the newcomer on the biggest stage. If that happens, Rodrygo would be the one to step aside. All things considered, the winter transfer window may offer his best chance at salvaging his trajectory. He may well decide that stepping away from Madrid provides the clarity he needs, much like how adapting swiftly can change the outcome of a BD Cricket Match when everything is on the line.
