Without Ronaldo, Real Madrid hasn't achieved this feat for 8 consecutive years!

Nearly a decade after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, Real Madrid still hasn't been able to replicate the terrifying scoring efficiency of the past, as the milestone of 100 goals in La Liga continues to be a major challenge.

Even though he left the Santiago Bernabéu nearly 8 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo still leaves a huge void in Real Madrid's history, especially in scoring ability. The latest statistics show that the Spanish Royal club still hasn't been able to replicate the impressive scoring efficiency of the era when CR7 wore the team's jersey.

In recent rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid just suffered a defeat against Getafe in a match where their attack continued to disappoint. This result further highlights the reality that the Spanish capital club still hasn't found a way to completely replace the greatest scorer in the club's history.

During his 9 seasons with Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo played a major role in helping the team score 100 or more goals in La Liga in 8 seasons. Since the Portuguese superstar left the team in June 2018 to join Juventus, Real Madrid has never reached the 100-goal milestone in this league again.

Notably, this happens even though the club has possessed many top attacking stars like Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Vinícius Jr, Jude Bellingham, or Kylian Mbappé. However, no attacking lineup has been able to recreate the terrifying offensive power of the period when Ronaldo played at the Bernabéu.

The statistics become even more impressive when looking back at history. Before Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009, this club only surpassed the 100-goal mark in a La Liga season once. But during CR7's playing period, reaching the three-digit mark almost became a "routine" for the Royal club.

After Ronaldo's departure, Real Madrid's best achievement in La Liga is 87 goals in the 2023/24 season under Carlo Ancelotti, the season they won the championship. Conversely, the 2018/19 season saw the team score only 63 goals.

In the current season, the team led by Álvaro Arbeloa has scored 54 goals after playing most of the season, and there are still 12 rounds ahead. However, reaching the 100-goal mark is almost not feasible.

Not only in scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo's influence is also reflected in overall achievements. During his time playing for Real Madrid, the club never experienced two consecutive seasons without a trophy. If this season they again fail to win a title in La Liga or the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid could face that situation for the first time since 2009.

After nearly a decade, the "shadow" of Ronaldo with 450 goals in 438 official matches remains a benchmark that Real Madrid has yet to surpass.
