Real Madrid edges Getafe 1-0, narrows La Liga gap on Barcelona

Real Madrid secured a crucial 1-0 away win over Getafe, narrowing the gap with La Liga leaders Barcelona to four points as the title race intensifies. Manager Carlo Ancelotti rotated his squad ahead of the upcoming Copa del Rey final, giving young midfielder Arda Guler a rare start. Guler capitalized on the opportunity, scoring a standout long-range goal in the 21st minute, which ultimately proved decisive. The win marks Madrid’s third consecutive 1-0 victory in La Liga and keeps their title hopes alive with five games remaining. Guler’s goal not only highlighted his quality but also set a new personal milestone, having now scored more goals for Real Madrid than he did for Fenerbahçe. However, injury concerns for David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga could impact Madrid ahead of their crucial fixtures.
