Real Madrid: More goals against than any other LaLiga club
Real Madrid's unsuccessful season is not only down to their inability to score goals, but also their failure to stop them going in at the other end.
Real Madrid's failure to challenge for major silverware this season is a consequence not only of their goal-shyness, but also their defensive fragility. Indeed, such has been their vulnerability at the back that they have let in more goals in all competitions this term than any other Spanish top-flight club.
Real Madrid overtake Huesca in weekend win over Eibar
In Saturday's 2-1 LaLiga win over Eibar, Madrid conceded for the 62nd time in 2018/19, in what was their 50th game of the campaign. Marc Cardona's strike at the Bernabéu saw Los Blancos overtake bottom club Huesca, whose defence has been breached on 61 occasions (albeit in far fewer matches: 32). Madrid and Huesca are followed by Villarreal (59 in 44), Sevilla (59 in 53) and Levante (59 in 34).
Goals conceded in each competition: LaLiga, Champions League...
Broken down by competition, Real Madrid's goals-against count reads as follows: 37 in LaLiga (an average of 1.19 per game), 10 in the Champions League (1.25), 9 in the Copa del Rey (1.12), 2 in the UEFA Super Cup (2) and 2 in the Club World Cup (1).
