Xabi Alonso made significant changes in the starting lineup for the match between Real Madrid and Real Oviedo. The front three for Real Madrid were Franco Mastantuono, Kylian Mbappe, and Rodrygo.
Rodrygo was the surprise in the lineup as the player is rumored of leaving the club due to the lack of minutes under Alonso so far. Rodrygo played as a left-winger, which is the position he requested to play at Real Madrid.
Rodrygo looked great in the match, where he played 63 minutes. He had two shots on target, 96% pass accuracy, and had one successful dribble.
Despite the great performance, Rodrygo was subbed off in the second half and was replaced by Vinicius Jr. Rodrygo was not happy as he walked off the pitch, and when he sat on the bench, the Brazilian’s anger was more evident.
Rodrygo’s Angry Reaction After Substitution
As Rodrygo walked off the pitch, the Brazilian showed his displeasure with the substitution, and cameras caught his angry reaction from the bench.
Rodrygo was next to Eder Militao on the bench, and he threw a shirt on the floor while shouting. This reaction once again adds to the rumors of his departure from the club, as reports in Spain suggest he may consider a move away.
His playing time is once again not secured for future games after Vinicius Jr. provided an assist and scored a goal in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Real Oviedo.
Real Madrid’s next game in La Liga is against Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu. It is the last game before the September international break and before the summer transfer window closes.
