Alonso warns: Real Madrid must not rest against Getafe!
Real Madrid face an important clash with Getafe, with players being warned not to rest on their past successes. Coach Xabi Alonso stresses the need to keep the focus high, even if Madrid top the table after eight matchdays. However, a possible win for Barcelona against Girona could push Madrid into second place. The team's only defeat this season was 5-2 against Atletico Madrid in a previous away game, followed by a strong response in the form of a 3-1 win against Villarreal, who played with one fewer player. Alonso is optimistic that the team is well prepared for the coming challenge.
Madrid have six crucial games coming up in the coming weeks, including the first El Clasico of the season and Champions League games against Juventus and Liverpool. Getafe, on the other hand, have not won in their last four games and most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat against Osasuna.
Players in focus
Last week, Getafe's Borja Mayoral celebrated his 50th LaLiga goal, including two goals against Real Madrid in the league. Nevertheless, he suffered the most defeats against Madrid. Brahim Diaz and Kylian Mbappé stand out on Madrid's side. Diaz has provided two assists in six appearances but has yet to score a goal. Mbappé is returning from an ankle injury and has already scored nine goals this season.
Despite their success, Real Madrid have won their last seven LaLiga games against Getafe, keeping clean sheets in six of those games. The statistics also show that Getafe have suffered 30 LaLiga defeats against Madrid, the most against a single opponent. Madrid have won a total of 10 of their last 11 LaLiga matches and have scored at least two goals in seven consecutive games.
Lineup and injury status
Real Madrid will arrive without some key defenders as Dean Huijsen is unavailable due to injury and there are only five defenders in the squad. Kylian Mbappé and Franco Mastantuono have overcome minor injuries, but their starting positions against Getafe remain uncertain. The possible formation of the team in a 4-3-3 system could look like this:
| position | player |
|---|---|
| goalkeeper | Thibault Courtois |
| Right defender | Fede Valverde |
| Central defender | Eder Militao |
| Central defender | Raul Asencio (possibly Álvaro Carreras) |
| Left back | Fran Garcia (or Álvaro Carreras) |
| Central midfield | Aurélien Tchouameni |
| Central midfield | Jude Bellingham (not quite fit) |
| Central midfield | Arda Guler |
| Right winger | Brahim Diaz (Mastantuono could be on the bench) |
| Left winger | Vinicius Jr. (in form, two goals in last game) |
| striker | Kylian Mbappé (fit, nine goals in La Liga) |
Madrid comes into the game with a win probability of 63.6%, while Getafe only achieves 15.5%. So far in the 2025-26 season, Getafe has remained unbeaten at home with one win and two draws. However, they have only won one of the last 23 derbies against Madrid teams in LaLiga. This could make for an exciting encounter.
