Real Madrid secured a vital 1-0 victory over Getafe, thanks to a stunning strike from Arda Güler, keeping their La Liga title hopes alive. With this win, Madrid moves into second place with 72 points, four points behind league leaders Barcelona, who also won against Mallorca this week.
Despite resting several key players in anticipation of the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, Real Madrid displayed dominance throughout the match. Güler’s impressive shot from the edge of the box in the 20th minute put the team on the scoreboard. However, the team struggled to extend their lead, leading to a tense finale where goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made crucial saves in added time to secure the win.
Vinicius Jr. was particularly impressive, creating chances and challenging Getafe’s defense, although he was denied goals on multiple occasions by goalkeeper David Soria. Real Madrid’s defence also faced threats from Getafe, especially in the second half, but they maintained composure to hold onto their lead.
This victory marks Madrid’s second consecutive win in all competitions, a crucial momentum boost as they head into the Copa del Rey final. Carlo Ancelotti expressed optimism about his team’s prospects, hoping they can carry the positive energy into the upcoming match against their historic rivals.
Real Madrid fans can remain hopeful as their team continues to show resilience, steadily pushing towards their title ambitions, with the Copas del Rey and upcoming fixtures promising further excitement.
