Real Madrid, aiming to capitalize on Barcelona’s recent stumble, face a relegation-battling Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday. Barcelona’s 1-2 home defeat to Las Palmas presents a significant opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti’s side to close the gap at the top of the table to just one point, albeit with a game in hand. Despite fitness concerns following their midweek Champions League loss to Liverpool, both Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham are set to start.
Mbappé, a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, has faced criticism for his recent performances, having scored only two goals in his last nine appearances for Real Madrid. With Vinicius Jr sidelined for three weeks, the pressure is on Mbappé to provide the attacking spark. Getafe, meanwhile, find themselves precariously close to the relegation zone, level on points with 18th-placed Espanyol. The return of Rodrygo to the starting XI after a period of injury will offer some much-needed attacking impetus for Real Madrid.
The match kicks off at 8:45 PM IST on Sunday, November 31st. While the game won’t be televised in India, fans can catch the live stream on the GXR World app and website. The clash promises to be a captivating encounter, with Real Madrid’s ambitions and Getafe’s fight for survival setting the stage for a thrilling encounter at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
