Real Madrid | The bench also decides

Waiting for the league competition to start again, one of the great novelties that have been raised for this very tight end of the campaign (11 matches in just over a month of competition) is the Willingness to make up to five changes (in a maximum of three rounds per game) by the same coach (this decision was approved on May 8 by FIFA and the International Football Association Board). The decision, which seeks to protect the health of footballers after a break of more than three months (in Spain the last league game was played on March 10, the Eibar-Real Sociedad postponed) and the high temperatures expected in the Peninsula, will cause more substitutions: the people who usually occupy the bench will acquire much more importance .

It is Getafe who so far makes the most of their bench. Bordalás’ men have 37 goals scored in their favor, of which 9 have been scored by players who joined the game once started, which means 25% (it must be remembered that Getafe has a goal scored in their favor own goal by Baba, Mallorca player). It is followed by three teams that appear in the top four places in the table: Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Real Sociedad They have scored eight goals from their wardrobe. The Catalan team achieved their last goal from a substitute player on matchday 19 (Vidal in the derby against Espanyol). Mariano, in the Clásico against Barcelona, ​​was the last scorer on the Madrid bench: he scored a few moments before entering the game, while on the San Sebastian side they did so on matchday 23: Isak leveled the derby against Athletic with five minutes to go. by the end of the meeting.
