The defeat leaves Real Madrid four points behind league leaders Barcelona.

New Development

Franco Mastantuono of Real Madrid received a red card in stoppage time, compounding the team’s woes. Getafe’s goalkeeper, David Soria, made several crucial saves throughout the match, ensuring that his team maintained their lead. This victory propelled Getafe to 11th place in the La Liga standings.

Alvaro Arbeloa, the coach of Real Madrid, expressed disappointment but acknowledged his players’ efforts, stating, “Obviously, it’s a match where we could have done things better, but I think my players tried and we had more clear chances than them.” He emphasized the resilience of the team, declaring, “Nobody here is throwing in the towel, this is Real Madrid, you don’t give up until the last game.”

Kiko Femenia, a player for Getafe, praised his team’s defensive performance, saying, “It’s very hard to get points when you come here. I have to congratulate the team for their work in defence.” Arbeloa also recognized Getafe’s performance, noting, “However, in football, deserving isn’t enough, and Getafe played a great game.”
