Getafe faces a tough challenge as they visit Real Madrid, struggling with a long history of defeats at Santiago Bernabeu. Can they finally break the losing streak?
Madrid: Real Madrid is having a tough time lately, with some ups and downs. Today, they will play against Getafe, a team that has not won at Santiago Bernabeu in a long time.
Getafe has a very poor record when playing away against Real Madrid. They have lost 15 straight La Liga matches to them, with 13 of those losses at Santiago Bernabeu and two at Alfredo Di Stefano.
This losing streak is one of the longest against Real Madrid in La Liga history. Only two teams have fared worse in this regard.
Racing de Santander holds the record for the most consecutive losses at Real Madrid’s stadium, with 18 defeats from 1952 to 1994. They finally managed to win there in the 1995/96 season.
Barcelona is second on this list, having lost 16 times in a row at the Bernabeu from 1949 to 1963. Getafe shares the third-worst record with Oviedo, both teams losing 15 times each.
Getafe has not won against Real Madrid in their last 15 matches. This upcoming game could either continue their bad luck or finally change their fortunes. Oviedo also had a long losing streak, going 42 years without a win from 1949 to 1990.
This match is crucial for Real Madrid. Their last home game was a strong 4-0 win against Osasuna, which helped lift some pressure off the team.
This victory came after two disappointing losses at home: a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona and a 1-3 loss to Milan. After losing to Liverpool, Real Madrid needs to regain their form.
With Barcelona performing well in the league, this match is important for Real Madrid to keep their title hopes alive. They aim to recover and build momentum in the La Liga season.
