Real Madrid reclaimed top spot in LaLiga with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Getafe on Sunday.
The match turned dramatically when substitute Allan Nyom was shown a red card less than a minute after coming on, leaving Getafe with 10 men. Moments later, Kylian Mbappé capitalised on the advantage, racing through to score the decisive goal for Los Blancos — his 50th goal of 2025 for club and country.
Getafe’s troubles deepened as Álex Sancris received a second yellow card in the 84th minute, reducing the hosts to nine men. Despite their numerical disadvantage, they nearly snatched a late equaliser, but Thibaut Courtois made a superb save in stoppage time to secure Madrid’s victory.
The win moves Real Madrid to 24 points, two clear of Barcelona, setting up a mouthwatering El Clásico clash between the two rivals next Sunday.
