Reduction in shot volume:
Real Madrid’s shots p90 in the league in the last 4 seasons
16/17: 17.42
17/18: 18.58 (1st in Europe)
18/19: 15.24
19/20: 15.5
Madrid have been a volume shooting team. In the 17/18 season, they were top for this metric in Europe's top 5 league.

Madrid have been a volume shooting team. In the 17/18 season, they were top for this metric in Europe's top 5 league.
In the 19/20 season, Madrid ranks 14th in Europe in terms of shots per 90 (1 place down from 18/19). Looking at just the volume of shots per 90, it’s clear that Madrid are shooting much less now.
Next step would be to look at how many shots are they managing to put on target.

In December of 2017, FC Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-0. Despite scoring and assisting, Messi hogged the headlines for a slightly different reason. It was reported that the Argentine had walked 83% of the five miles he'd covered during the game.
This was nothing new. Reports of a lazy Messi have persisted throughout his career, and usually gain traction after big Champions League defeats.
And there is some truth to this. Messi consistently covers less ground than other attackers with similar output.
