With 7 points behind his Barcelona rival before kick -off, Real Madrid had no choice but to win on the lawn of Getafe to hope to play the title of champion until the end. And for that, he aligned a bis team, in the absence of Kylian Mbappé and in anticipation of the King's Cup final against FC Barcelona next Saturday. Endrick, Arda Güler and Brahim Diaz accompanied Vinicius Junior in attack. Endrick could quickly taste the hardness of the defense of Getafe, the third best in the championship, with a duel of ragpickers delivered with Duarte. The two men went back to blow, but it was football that suffered.
Nothing to put in the tooth on the Madrid side until the 18th minute, a good breakthrough of Lucas Vazquez, a good center of Vinicius and a shot from Fran Garcia pushed by David Soria. A first warning quickly followed by the sanction. After a new acceleration in the heart of the surface, the ball returned to Arda Güler who surprised his world by setting a strike from the right foot on which Soria was not impeccable (0-1, 21st). The Casa Blanca had taken the advantage on the display board and in the game. Güler, released by his goal, led everything with Propos, while Endrick was finally distinguished with a pretty one with Vinicius before falling on a decisive sori (32nd).
Real barely trembled
Brahim Diaz in turn tried a dry strike (37th) but the Moroccan was the least visible in the offensive sector. Seriously if not exciting, this Real seemed to be off to avoid the trap set by Getafe and its rough defense. On the return from the locker room, however, it was necessary to be wary of a slight revolt. The club trained by José Bordalas had not suddenly turned into a follower of a licked offensive game but it brought more offensive presence. So Ancelotti reacted by launching Bellingham in the place of Endrick, volunteer but little found.
Vinicius played the individual card against (67th) but did not find the frame, just like Arambarri, almost alone at the penalty point (73rd). Real passed very close to the bamboo blow but that did not prevent Carlo Ancelotti from blowing Vinicius, for the Clasico on Saturday, replaced by Rodrygo, then the best Madrid offensive of the Arda Güler evening, replaced by Ceballos. The threat of equalization remained present, but rather diffuse, and the fear came mainly from a camavangonga affected after contact. The Frenchman was forced to leave his partners before the end of the game. In the process, it was courteous who took a blow after a scramble in his surface, which did not prevent him from carrying out a last parade in additional time. The main thing was done, Real Madrid came out of its short trip with an equally short victory (1-0), which allows it to return to 4 points from FC Barcelona in the Liga classification.
