A performance no more reassuring than the previous ones for Real Madrid. But the main thing is there for the men of Carlo Ancelotti who went to win on Wednesday evening on the lawn of Getafe (0-1), as part of the 33rd day of the Spanish championship. This short success allows them to return to four points from FC Barcelona, still at the top of the Liga.
No Kylian Mbappé at the start since still decreased after his injury contracted during the quarter-final return of the Champions League lost last week against Arsenal (1-2). With an endick-vinicius offensive duo, the Merengue still had many opportunities. The first period was to their advantage, but the second was much more balanced.
Those are they who nevertheless opened the brand thanks to their Turkish talent Arda Güler (0-1, 21st). Preserved at kick -off, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo have entered the second half without it changing much. Getafe even offered himself sacred opportunities to equalize. In vain.
The King's Cup, ultimate objective
Real Madrid can therefore always hope to be champion at the end of the season but five games from the term and in view of its performances compared to those of Barça, it is currently difficult to imagine a reversal of the situation. The real goal of Carlo Ancelotti's men is for this weekend. On Saturday evening very exactly, with the King Cup final, facing the Blaugranas of Hansi Flick. If the Merengues are missing this meeting, their season will most likely be considered missed.
In the other games of the day, Athletic Bilbao won at home against Las Palmas (1-0), Celta Vigo took the best on Villarreal (3-0) and Alaves won at home against Real Sociedad (1-0).
