Real Madrid showed its strong character during the confrontation with Getafe and imposed its control over the competitor in its home, achieving a victory that established its footing on the path to regaining the La Liga title.
Real Madrid left the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez Stadium with a valuable victory over its host Getafe with a clean double, scored by the brilliant striker Joselu, to return to the top of the Spanish League, “La Liga”, with 57 points, two points behind Girona.
The Royal Club benefited from Joselu’s exceptional technical condition in achieving an important victory without much effort, while he was able to increase his scoring output, had it not been for the recklessness of the Brazilian duo, Rodrigo Goes and Vinicius Junior.

Real Madrid shirt suits Joselu
Joselu showed that he is a high-class striker capable of carrying the Royal Club’s attack on his shoulders during the coming period, after the distinguished double he scored today with a wonderful header and an accurate shot from outside the penalty area.
Joselu confirms that his advanced age (33 years old) will never prevent him from engraving his name in the history of the club, and why not, because he is the son of Castilla who returned after a long journey he spent outside the walls of Real Madrid.
It also proved the validity of the point of view of the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, the Royal coach, who insisted that the club did not need to sign a striker in the last winter transfers, as he without thinking rejected the return of Karim Benzema, the current Al-Ittihad Jeddah striker, and placed his trust in the duo Joselu and Rodrigo.
Don’t give your ears to the public, Vinicius
Today, Vinicius was out of service in every sense of the word, as he did not succeed in front of the goal in more than one opportunity, including a frank one-off during which Joselu tried to give the ball to the Brazilian, but he exaggerated his show until the opposing goalkeeper, David Soria, saved it.
Vinnie walks one line and leaves the other. Sometimes you find him shining brightly and being the first star on the field, and at other times he disappears and becomes a ghost, as happened today.
But perhaps what the Brazilian star was exposed to outside the stadium walls, when he received racist chants from Getafe fans while entering the royal bus, is what affected his morale and was reflected in his level on the field.
It seems that this phenomenon will not disappear from the Spanish stadiums, and he must maintain his emotional stability and get rid of his weakness, especially after he became one of the main pillars of the royal team.
Two colors are the future
Andriy Lunin played a perfect match today against Getafe and came out with a clean sheet, after making outstanding saves that saved the Royal goal more than once from the equalizer for the hosts.
He was able to keep the Royal team clean for the second match in a row, as he also excelled in the last Las Palmas match, giving reassurance to his team’s fans before the derby.
Lunin gave a clear message to Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has been absent since the beginning of the season due to injury, that he would not abandon the royal team easily and that there is a fierce competitor capable of removing him from his kingdom.

The 24-year-old Lunin, if he continues his impressive form, should be considered the future of Real Madrid’s goalkeeping as Courtois ages.
Fears before the derby
Real Madrid was able to achieve several gains before the upcoming Madrid derby match next Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu, which carries the nature of revenge after the harsh loss at the hands of the Rojiblancos (2-4) in the King’s Cup.
But there are some concerns about Anthony Rudiger’s injury, which is a bruise in his thigh, and it was confirmed that Tchouamini will be absent from the derby because he received another warning today.

Ancelotti will now have to resort to the duo Nacho and Mendy in the back line, to compensate for this severe deficiency that the royal team suffers from.
