In a match full of tensions and strategies, Real Madrid managed to survive Getafe's intensity to maintain its lead in La Liga on the eve of the Clasico against Barcelona. Despite facing a Getafe that posed a challenging and physically demanding game, the white team found a solution in the emerging talent of its substitute players. The Brazilian Vinicius Júnior came off the bench and changed the dynamics of the game, earning two crucial red cards against Getafe. Arda Güler also stood out by providing a key assist to Kylian Mbappé, who scored the only goal of the match, maintaining his impressive 15-goal record this season.

As the match progressed, coach Xabi Alonso adjusted his strategy, giving opportunities to young talents. Vinicius, with his speed and persistence, destabilized Getafe's defense, while Güler, with his vision of the game, facilitated the connection between midfield and attack. Real Madrid, taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes and its numerical superiority after the expulsions, finally found the path to victory. The win not only strengthens their position in the league, but also provides a confidence boost ahead of the next derby.
