Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday to climb to second in La Liga, closing the gap on league leaders Barcelona. Kylian Mbappé, under scrutiny for recent performances, delivered a crucial goal after Jude Bellingham’s opening penalty.
Madrid’s breakthrough came in the 30th minute when Bellingham converted a spot-kick following Allan Nyom’s foul on Antonio Rüdiger.
Seven minutes later, Mbappé doubled the lead with a stunning curling strike, his eighth league goal of the season.
Getafe struggled to create clear chances but came closest when John Patrick’s fierce shot struck both the crossbar and post.
Meanwhile, Mbappé missed several opportunities to extend Madrid’s lead, including a one-on-one in stoppage time.
Despite these missed chances, Carlo Ancelotti’s side maintained their advantage, leaving them one point behind Barcelona with a game in hand.
Madrid next face Athletic Bilbao, seeking to build on three consecutive league wins.
