#2 Real Madrid – La Liga – GPG = 2.67
You would think that a side that has gone 38 games unbeaten would do so on the back of a solid defence, but Real Madrid do not even make the top 5 defences of Europe, but are the 2nd best attacking side. Zinedine Zidane has exchanged the fluency of Real Madrid’s previous sides for a ruthless efficiency in front of goal, and it show.
Los Blancos have scored 40 goals in 15 games, at a rate of 2.67 goals per game. They have managed averaged almost 15 chances created in 15 games, ending the first half of the season with 223 opportunities created with a rather impressive shot accuracy of 50%.
Unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo leads the scoring charts for Real Madrid with 10 goals, followed by Alvaro Morata and Gareth Bale on 5 goals each. Toni Kroos is far and awar Madrid’s best creator, with 7 assists, way ahead of Isco and Lucas Vazquez with three assists each.
