Mbappé Strikes Late as Real Madrid Seals Victory

Real Madrid clinched a hard-fought victory over Getafe in today's La Liga fixture, maintaining their strong position in the league standings.

In a tightly contested match at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, Real Madrid emerged victorious with a 1–0 win against Getafe. The decisive moment came in the 79th minute when Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net, securing all three points for Los Blancos.

Despite dominating possession with 75% control of the ball, Real Madrid faced a resilient Getafe side that held firm until the second half. The match saw several disciplinary actions, including a red card for Getafe’s Allan Nyom in the 76th minute, which tilted the momentum in Madrid’s favor.

Real Madrid now boasts eight wins and just one loss in the current La Liga season, reinforcing their status as title contenders. The win places them just behind arch-rivals Barcelona, setting the stage for a high-stakes El Clásico next weekend.

Head coach Xabi Alonso navigated a challenging lineup situation, with key defenders like Antonio Rüdiger and Dean Huijsen sidelined due to injury. The team adapted with David Alaba partnering Éder Militão in central defense, while Jude Bellingham continued his return to form following off-season shoulder surgery.
