Real adjust the status quo LaLiga - Real Madrid In their best moment

After a terrible run of form and results, Real Madrid scored 11 goals in two games to change the status quo.

11 goals to allow them to dream again, 11 goals - and a great percentage of success - to believe in what seemed like an impossibility weeks ago; knocking an increasingly powerful and aggressive Paris Saint-Germain side out of the Champions League.

In 30 of the 37 games (more than 80 percent) in 2017/18, Zinedine Zidane's team have been unable to reach a 50 percent success rate in their shots to goals ratio.

However, in the last 180 minutes of LaLiga action, they've shown the existence of the green shoots of recovery.

Seven goals against Deportivo, four against Valencia, and an essential adjustment in shooting accuracy; 50 percent success against the Galicians and 57 percent against Los Che.

In fact, in just five more games (the two against APOEL, the first game against Numancia and the matches against Sevilla and Real Sociedad), Real reached a level that will be vital to repeat (or improve) so that they can secure a quarterfinal berth at PSG's expense.

Key to knocking out PSG

Real have to be positive despite the stats from their strikers this season.

It's true that the French side don't concede many goals, but if Zizou's team fight as well as they've done in the last two league games, they have a chance to continue in the European competition.

Best not to look back on performances like the one in the first round against Levante, when Madrid barely managed 10 shots on goal.

Against Tottenham it wasn't much better, but only seven shots on goal in the three games against Betis, Villarreal and Barcelona, evidenced the extent of the problem.

No goals from 270 minutes of football and 30 matches with less than 43 percent shot success.

Six scorers

But let's go back to the positive data.

To the 11 goals from six different players; four from Cristiano Ronaldo, two from Bale, two from Nacho and one each from Marcelo, Kroos and Modric.

11 goals in just 21 shots against Deportivo and Valencia.

The season began with an illusion of winning all six trophies, and now, realistically, only the Champions League remains in play.

Real's success will only come again if its players continue to adjust the status quo just as they did in the last two LaLiga matches.
