Real Madrid have scored fewer goals than any other league leader in Europe

Real Madrid's 44 goals in 22 LaLiga Santander games this season is the lowest out of any of the leaders of Europe's top five leagues.

It's also fewer than Ajax's 62 and Benfica's 47 in the Dutch and Portuguese leagues respectively.

This is largely because Real Madrid's attacking players aren't contributing enough in the scoring department.

Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Lucas Vazquez, Mariano Diaz, Brahim Diaz and Gareth Bale have scored 21 goals between them, whereas Robert Lewandowski has 22 goals on his own.

When you take into account that 13 of those 21 goals (61.9 percent) have come from Benzema, it underlines the lack of goal threat coming from the other forwards.

In fact, the Frenchman is the only forward to score for Real Madrid in LaLiga Santander since Rodrygo and Jovic also netted against Leganes.
