Jose looking for a higher record/500 goals record: a big challenge for Mourinho!

Jose Mourinho is ready to increase the attacking power of Real Madrid.

According to "Sports Three", Rudiger's goal against Rome was of particular importance to Mourinho. In addition to capping off a tumultuous night, it also allowed Real Madrid to reach the 500-goal mark with the Portuguese coach on the bench. It's an impressive stat that shows the team's scoring ability and opens the door to a new challenge: continuing to improve the performance of an offensive line that, despite its good numbers, still has a lot of room for improvement.

Mourinho achieved this record in his 188th game in charge of the club, averaging 2.66 goals per game. He is the best coach in this club who has managed at least 50 games. This statistic shows the attacking ability of his team. The distribution of flowers also provides a picture of his performance. Real Madrid has scored 345 goals in 122 La Liga games, 92 goals in 38 Champions League games, 55 goals in 24 Copa del Rey games and eight goals in four Super Cup games. The biggest win was 8-0 in the 2010-11 Copa del Rey against Levante.

This season's statistics have also maintained this trend, with an average of 2.5 goals per game. This statistic satisfies Mourinho, although it still does not fully meet his expectations. For the Portuguese manager, reaching the 500-goal mark is a tribute to his attacking efforts, but also a starting point for further progress.

His goal is to build a team with more resources on the offensive line. Real Madrid must be able to control the game by using the possession of the ball, be quick in transitions to take advantage of the depth and speed of their players and be dangerous in free kicks. All this while maintaining a defensive balance. This is a necessary condition to maintain his style of play.

Because of this, the next step for Mourinho is to turn this ability into a more diverse, recognizable and difficult team to contain. Because this statistic is a good reason to celebrate, if only for a short time, but the Portuguese coach is already looking to the future.
