This Madrid does not score goals but they do not fit either

[Lexman.]

° Whites record the baggage of goals against lowest since season 87/88

 

Neither in the rival goal, nor in the own one. The goals do not enter or leave Real Madrid, and that, at a time when the goal drought is accused as one of the main problems to be tackled, is collected as something positive rather than negative.

12 goals in 18 days. A figure that was not seen in the white team since the 1987/88 season, when the merengues goalkeepers were Buyo and Ochotorena. At that time the course was closed with 26 goals against, something that Courtois and Areola, 31 years later, expect, at least, to match.

And it is that after a preseason in which he got too fit (18 goals in six games), Zidane seems to have thrown the bolt. Also Courtois, the first goalkeeper of the whites who has returned to the level that was expected has his plot of merit.
