In real madrid vs getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu, Getafe claimed a 1-0 victory as Martin Satriano fired a volley into the top right corner on 39 minutes after Mauro Arambarri kept a loose ball alive.
The result handed Getafe their first win at this venue in 17 visits and plunged Real Madrid into back-to-back La Liga defeats for the first time since 2019, while the hosts struggled to create sustained attacking pressure.
Match coverage described Real Madrid as overly reliant on Vinicius Jr, who missed a clear first-half chance and later received a yellow card after showing visible frustration with officiating, and the team failed to break down Getafe’s compact defensive shape after the goal.
Player ratings highlighted a mixed Real Madrid performance. Thibaut Courtois was rated 7, Thiago Pitarch 7.5 and Fede Valverde 7 for their work, while Trent Alexander-Arnold was given a 4, David Alaba 4.5 and Gonzalo Garcia 4 for ineffective attacking contributions. Franco Mastantuono was graded 3.5 and was sent off late for dissent.
Arbeloa made a triple substitution in the 55th minute, bringing on Dean Huijsen, Dani Carvajal and Rodrygo for Alaba, Alexander-Arnold and Pitarch. Huijsen was later booked for a tackle and was described as poor in possession after his introduction, and several Madrid players, including Antonio Rudiger and Carvajal, were seen confronting the referee as frustration grew.
Implications Reactions And Upcoming Fixtures
The defeat left Real Madrid four points behind Barcelona in the title race, while Getafe moved up to 11th in La Liga, a league standing described as valuable in the congested bottom half where distance from relegation matters.
Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa took responsibility, saying I’m the one to blame for this defeat and adding that he would not make excuses, while also noting he believed his squad contained players who would recover. Getafe coach Pepe Bordalas celebrated the win and declined to dwell on an incident involving Rudiger, saying I think you’ve seen it, and I’m not going to comment on it.
The sides face different schedules next, with Real Madrid preparing for matches against Celta Vigo, Manchester City in the Champions League, and Elche. Getafe’s upcoming fixtures include home games against Real Betis, followed by visits to Atletico Madrid and Espanyol.
