Real Madrid run the least in LaLiga this season, per SofaScore

According to a SofaScore chart, Real Madrid are currently the LaLiga side that covers the fewest kilometres per match on average this season, after the first seven matchdays.

The data puts the Madrid team at around 8 kilometres less than their main rival, FC Barcelona, in this distance-based workload metric. In other words, even with both competing at the top end, the run-distance pattern shown by the numbers is different.

This kind of comparison is often used to read playing styles: running fewer kilometres doesn’t automatically mean less intensity or less competitiveness, but it can indicate differences in how teams manage game tempo, pressing and how they distribute effort.

Either way, the snapshot from this early point in the league sets an interesting baseline to see whether Real Madrid keep the trend over the rest of the season or whether other teams close the gap.
