According to AS, Real Madrid's average running distance in the first 7 rounds was 96.5 km, ranking last among all LaLiga teams.

According to statistics from data website Sofascore, Real Madrid players averaged 96.5 km per game, the lowest figure among all LaLiga teams. Barcelona's running distance statistics were significantly higher than Real Madrid's.

AS also noted that when José Mourinho took over Real Madrid, he conveyed a message to Florentino Pérez, emphasizing his desire for the team to adopt a "run and fight" mentality.

However, current data does not reflect this aspiration. Real Madrid sits at the bottom of the running distance rankings, with Deportivo Alavés, Espanyol, Barcelona, and Sevilla also registering relatively low figures.

Barcelona ranks fifth in LaLiga for running distance, averaging approximately 104.6 km per game—about 8.1 km more than Real Madrid per match.

This statistic underscores Real Madrid's difficult start to the season. Currently 6 points behind leaders Barcelona, the team's low running distance raises physical concerns about their performance under Mourinho.
