Real Madrid lost a home match against Getafe for the first time in 18 years. In the match of the 26th round of the Spanish Primera, Real Madrid lost with a score of 0:1.
The only goal of the match was scored by Uruguayan striker Martin Satriano, who received the ball outside the Real Madrid penalty area and sent it into the right “nine” with one touch.
The match ended with a 1-0 win for Getafe. It was the first away win for the team from the city of the same name over Real Madrid since the 2007/08 season, when the match also ended 1-0.
Real Madrid suffered their second consecutive defeat in the championship (in the previous round, against Osasuna) and increased their gap to Barcelona at the top of the standings to four points.
The “Creamy” have suffered two consecutive defeats in the Spanish championship for the first time since the 2018/19 season. The last time this happened was in the matches of the 37th and 38th rounds six years ago.
“We have a chance to get 36 points and our goal is to get those 36 points. I know that after a defeat like that things look very bleak and there is not much hope, but fixing that has to be our goal,” said Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
Overall, this is Getafe's seventh victory in the history of confrontations with Real Madrid. During all this time, the teams have played 42 matches, in which Madrid won 31, and four more meetings ended in a draw. The last time Getafe defeated Real Madrid was in the 2021/22 season, when the team from the Spanish capital lost in an away match with a score of 0:1.
Real Madrid will play their next match in the Spanish league against Celta on Friday, March 6, at 10:00 p.m. Kyiv time.
