Rodrygo Goes was back in the headlines at Real Madrid, but not for a decisive performance or a magical Champions League night. This time, his name is once again surrounded by doubts after being completely left out of the second friendly of the new project led by Xabi Alonso. Not a single minute against Pachuca, he didn't even warm up. An image that speaks for itself and seems to confirm that the Brazilian has lost his place within the gears of the white team.
He arrived at the club with the aura of being the guy for big nights, the one who decided matches without needing to make much noise. His technical quality, tactical intelligence, and ability to show up in key moments made him a special player. However, over time, the media impact of other teammates, combined with a quieter personality, has weakened his position in the dressing room and the starting eleven.
He's been far from his best form at Real Madrid for a while now
Last season was particularly tough: one goal and four assists in his last 25 games with the white shirt. The loss of confidence was evident, and despite Xabi Alonso's attempts to bring back his best version since his arrival, the lack of consistency puts him back in the spotlight.
As reported by Marca, while youngsters like Arda Güler gain prominence, and the board is already working on new signings like Mastantuono, the space for Rodrygo seems to be diminishing. His name was strongly linked in the market, especially in England, but he chose to stay and turn things around. However, everything indicates that Real Madrid has already started looking elsewhere. If the situation doesn't change, Rodrygo could be witnessing his final chapters at the Santiago Bernabéu.
