Real Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu, leaving them four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona. A superb first-half volley from Martín Satriano in the 39th minute proved to be the winner, marking Getafe's first victory at the Bernabéu in 18 years.
The loss was compounded by a growing injury crisis for Los Blancos, who were already without star forward Kylian Mbappé due to a left knee sprain. The club confirmed that while Mbappé does not require surgery, he is undergoing conservative treatment in Paris and remains a major doubt for the upcoming Champions League clash against Manchester City.
Frustrations boiled over in the match's final moments as substitute Franco Mastantuono received a straight red card for dissent, adding to Madrid's suspension woes. With Jude Bellingham and Éder Militão also sidelined, manager Álvaro Arbeloa faces a significant challenge to keep his side's title ambitions alive ahead of a critical stretch of fixtures.
