Real Madrid were hot on Sunday evening, in the southern suburbs of the Spanish capital. It was not until the 80th minute that Kylian Mbappé, once Getafe was reduced to 10, was able to score the one and only goal of the match. A 1-0 victory which will still bring criticism to Xabi Alonso's team, whose game plan still remains quite vague, with a team running out of ideas when they have the ball.

After Nyom's expulsion, the former Flamengo went to criticize Pepe Bordalas, ironically congratulating him for the change made by the coach. “Vinicius does not need to come and congratulate me for the change, he does not need to come and provoke me,” explained the coach. Real Madrid's number 7 also clashed several times with opponents, including Juan Iglesias. The latter notably told the Brazilian: “See, that’s why everyone hates you.”.
