Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid kept the pressure on la Liga leaders Barcelona with a agreeable 2-0 victory over Getafe at the Bernabeu on Sunday. The win puts Los Blancos just one point behind their Clasico rivals, with a game in hand.Jude Bellingham continued his impressive start to life in Spain,calmly converting a penalty in the 30th minute after Antonio Rudiger was fouled inside the box. The England midfielder then turned provider, setting up Kylian Mbappe for his 10th goal of the season in all competitions just eight minutes later.
Mbappe, who missed a crucial penalty against Liverpool in the Champions League last week, silenced his critics with a clinical finish, finding the back of the net via the inside of the post.
“It was vital for Kylian to get back on the scoresheet,” said Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. “He’s a world-class player and we need him firing on all cylinders.”
Getafe, who sit precariously in 17th place, struggled to create clear-cut chances against a dominant Real Madrid side. They did hit the woodwork late on through John Patrick, but it was a rare moment of threat for the visitors.
The clean sheet will be a welcome boost for Real Madrid after a difficult week in Europe, where they suffered a 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.
“We needed to bounce back after the Liverpool game,” said Ancelotti. “This was a professional performance and a good result.”
Real Madrid will now turn their attention to their Champions League clash against Napoli next week,while Getafe face a crucial relegation battle against Espanyol.
