Mbappé looks for the incoming Mastantuono with a change of sides. Soria rushes out of the box in time and tightens the leather. After Mbappé’s two dangerous shots, the hosts’ backline has sorted itself out again and is very secure and compact in defense.

9:14 p.m
Mastantuono inimitablely takes down a half-high pass and then passes it to Bellingham, who tries to pass the ball past Jubilar Djené on the right. But the Brit is being cooked by the Togolese.
9.
9:11 p.m
Mbappé receives a pass from Bellingham, puts the ball on his strong right hand on the edge of the box, but shoots the ball just past the right goal post from the turn. The Royals’ shots increase in the early stages of the game.

9:09 p.m
After Camavinga wins the ball, Rodrygo passes through to Mbappé on the left. The French superstar then goes through freely, but is denied by Soria from a tight angle. Afterwards, the linesman’s flag goes up anyway.
6.
9:08 p.m
On the edge of the box, a pass reached Spanish U-20 international Liso, who was then tackled by Eder Militão and Tchouaméni. There was certainly minimal contact from the defenders, but that’s far from enough for a free kick or even a penalty.

9:06 p.m
Rodrygo is released on the left and fits flat into the interface, where Mastantuono is left behind against defense chief Djene, who is making his 300th game for Getafenses this Sunday evening.

9:04 p.m
Right from the start you can see the tight staggering in the hosts’ defense. In front of the four-man chain there is a five-man chain in midfield. In the front line, Liso sets the pace in pressing situations.

Game start
8:46 p.m
Everything is set for an exciting football evening in the Madrid suburbs, when the little neighbor challenges the big neighbor. We’ll find out from 9:00 p.m. whether there will be a huge surprise or whether the Royals will live up to their role as favorites!
8:30 p.m
José Bordalás, on the other hand, is cautiously optimistic about the game: “It’s never a good time to play against a team of Real Madrid’s caliber. I tell the players that you have to be realistic. In a full league, this team is always better than us, but anything can happen in a game. We’ve seen a lot of surprises and who knows, maybe today too.”

In terms of personnel, Xabi Alonso has some concerns in the defensive area. Alexander-Arnold, Carvajal, Huijsen, Mendy and Rüdiger are all missing with injuries. It will be all the more important that the remaining defense is stable today. Xabi Alonso also warns about today’s opponents: “Everyone who was with their national teams returned well – with the exception of Dean Huijsen. Some had longer trips, some shorter ones. But they returned well and were able to train yesterday and today. It’s always demanding in Getafe. Getafe is very competitive, it’s always a very demanding game there.”
20:28
However, it won’t be a sure-fire success for the guests. Getafe have only conceded more than two goals at home once in the entire 2025 calendar year. So the question is how the Royals’ offensive star ensemble can crack the defensive strength of the hosts.
20:26
Apart from the clear 2:5 defeat in the derby at Atlético, Xabi Alonso’s team has marched flawlessly through the season so far. The results of the last few weeks speak for themselves and the direct comparison is also impressive. Seven competitive game wins in a row against Getafe, the last loss of a point dates back to the beginning of 2022, when Getafe won 1-0 at home.
8:25 p.m
José Bordalás’ team started the season furiously with two wins, but recently failed to win four games in a row. With 11 points from 8 games, the Azulones are currently in a very solid 11th place in the middle of the table.
20:24
Before the Royals have several real challenges in front of them in the coming weeks, with Champions League duels against Juventus Turin and Liverpool as well as the Clásico against FC Barcelona next weekend, the full focus this Sunday evening will initially be on the mandatory task in the Madrid suburb of Getafe.
20:23
On the other hand, Xabi Alonso made four changes after the 3-1 home win over Villarreal FC. Alaba starts in the back four for Huijsen, who has returned injured from the national team, Camavinga replaces the also injured Ceballos in the double six, Bellingham starts in the playmaker position instead of Güler and Rodrygo starts in the left-wing attacking position in place of Vini Junior in the midfield of a 4-2-3-1 formation. In addition to Alaba and Ceballos, Alexander-Arnold, Carvajal, Mendy and Rüdiger are also still out due to injuries.
8:17 p.m
Compared to the recent 1-2 defeat at CA Osasuna, José Bordalás changed his starting eleven to two positions. Djene starts in central defense instead of Abqar, while Liso is the sole striker. Mayoral moves to the bench, Alejandro Sancris plays a position deeper on the left wing of a 4-5-1 formation.
8:09 p.m
Hello and welcome! On the 9th matchday of La Liga there will be a neighborhood duel between Getafe FC and Real Madrid in the suburbs of Madrid. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m. and the game will be refereed by José Luis Munuera Montero.
