Real Madrid Defeats Getafe, Awaits Cup Final

Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 in La Liga, with young midfielder Arda Guler scoring the decisive first-half goal to keep Madrid within four points of leaders Barcelona. The win comes ahead of a crucial Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Coach Carlo Ancelotti rotated the squad, resting Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric, while giving starts to Endrick and Guler, both of whom impressed. Injury concerns arose for Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba, potentially affecting Madrid's lineup for upcoming fixtures. Vinicius Junior is reportedly close to signing a contract extension with Madrid until 2030, despite external interest. Luka Modric is also expected to extend his stay, even as Ancelotti's future at the club remains uncertain.
