New unwelcome record for Real Madrid in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era

Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss at CSKA Moscow in the Champions League meant Real Madrid equalled an unwanted recent goalscoring record.

Having failed to find the back of the net again, following a goalless home draw with Atletico Madrid and 3-0 reverse at Sevilla, the Whites, for the first time since the 2006-07 campaign, have gone three matches without a goal, according to Marca.

Back then, Fabio Capello was in charge of Los Blancos as Madrid were beaten 3-0 by Recreativo Huelva and 2-0 by Deportivo at the Riazor that season, before a goalless clash with Real Betis. However, the Spanish giants still won the La Liga title in what was David Beckham’s swansong.

That barren patch under the experienced Italian of course came before Cristiano Ronaldo‘s time at the Bernabeu, with the Portuguese never being part of a Real side that were so futile in front of goal.
