"The Real" started the New Year with an unexpected loss to the "Getafe" team © JumpStory

„Royal Club“ unexpectedly lost with a score of 0:1 to the battling for survival team "Getafe" as guests. "Getafe" scored a winning goal at the beginning of the match. Enes Unal took advantage of a catastrophic mistake by the "Real" defender and defeated goalkeeper T. Courtois in the 9th minute. Carlo Ancelotti's players, experiencing a "cold shower", created several very dangerous opportunities to equalize during the match, but the home team fought tenaciously and preserved a vitally important victory. This defeat still allows the Madrid team to remain in first place in the table, but if the team in second place, "Sevilla", wins their match, they will only have a two-point advantage over Ancelotti's players. Meanwhile, this is a very important victory for the "Getafe" team, allowing them to temporarily move three points away from the relegation zone.
