Real Madrid are set to complete a second consecutive season without a major trophy, capping off a campaign that has witnessed dressing room issues, managerial instability and a relentless injury crisis.
However, another key weakness for Real Madrid this season has been the sheer lack of impact from the bench.
Substitutes making no impact
As reported by AS, Real Madrid have scored just two goals from substitute appearances under Alvaro Arbeloa since he took charge in January, one of the lowest returns of any top European side this season.
The first came from Arda Guler against Elche at the Bernabeu, when the Turk added a fourth goal with the score already at 3-1.
The second was Militao’s equaliser against Mallorca on his return from injury – a goal that ultimately proved insufficient as Madrid went on to lose the match.
