It was hard for Rodrygo and the rest of Real Madrid to get a handle on things this season. He got off to a slow start in the season and wasn’t consistent in front of goal.
Rodrygo had only scored two goals at the beginning of the month, and he often had trouble staying productive in the final third.
Many people didn’t think he should be in the starting eleven because he wasn’t playing well, especially since there were other talented La Fabrica players waiting in the wings.
Rodrygo’s strong comeback
But Rodrygo has turned around his season in just 10 days, despite all the talk in the media about how bad he has been playing.
The Brazilian’s good mood began last Thursday, when he signed a new deal with Real Madrid. He signed a new contract that keeps him at the Bernabeu until 2028.
After the deal extension, they played great against Braga in the UEFA Champions League. The forward scored a goal and set up another, which helped Real Madrid win 3-0 this past Wednesday.
The way Rodrygo played against Valencia last night was the cherry on top. He set up two goals and scored two himself as Real Madrid beat Valencia 5-1.
The way ahead
Things have been going up and down for Rodrygo since the start of the season, so this quick change of luck should be good for him.
Another thing is that Rodrygo’s recent form will help Real Madrid, who have been having trouble with Jude Bellingham’s illness lately.
The Real Madrid forward signed a good deal before the international break. He will now try to make a strong impression while playing for Brazil.
Rodrygo is on the Brazilian team that will play Colombia and Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which will happen after the next international break.
