A bizarre statistic has come to the fore in the aftermath of Real Madrid’s meeting with AS Roma on Wednesday. The stat in question serves to highlight just how badly Los Blancos struggled for control at times over the course of the 90 minutes.

José Mourinho’s troops were of course back in action yesterday evening, making the trip to Italy’s capital for a Champions League showdown with the aforementioned Roma.

When all was said and done, the visitors emerged on the right side of the result, thanking a trio of late goals for an eventual 4-3 triumph.

The majority of the clash, though, was dominated by Roma, who looked the more well-drilled and in sync of the two sides.

And as alluded to above, perfectly summing up Real Madrid’s struggles, particularly in the middle of the park, is a statistic to have surfaced in the aftermath of the Olimpico fixture.

As per Sofascore , across the 90 minutes on Wednesday, Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois completed more passes than all of Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham.

Accurate passes vs Roma:

- Courtois: 41

- Valverde: 29

- Tchouaméni: 32

- Bellingham: 38
