Real Madrid secured a crucial 2-0 win over Getafe, closing the gap to just one point behind Barcelona in LaLiga. Key players shone in front of their home crowd.
The match took place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where Real Madrid dominated the game. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé were the stars, scoring both goals for their team.
The first goal came after a foul in the box. Allan Nyom brought down Antonio Rüdiger, leading to a penalty. Bellingham and Mbappé discussed who would take it, but Bellingham took the shot and scored.
Bellingham then assisted Mbappé, who scored the second goal from outside the box, hitting the right post before it went in. Real Madrid was in control, but Bellingham had to leave the game due to feeling dizzy.
Despite their lead, Getafe had a few chances to score. Carles Pérez, Juan Iglesias, and Coba da Costa tried but couldn’t find the net. Madrid kept pushing, with many players trying to help Mbappé score again.
Mbappé missed several opportunities, including one where he rounded the goalkeeper but failed to score. Getafe’s defense also stopped Federico Valverde from scoring.
Getafe had only 30% possession but still fought hard. They almost scored when substitute John Patrick hit the crossbar, marking the second time they struck the woodwork.
Real Madrid’s strong first-half performance was enough to secure the win. They are now just one point behind Barcelona and have a game in hand. Getafe, on the other hand, is just above the relegation zone in 17th place.
