eal Madrid He drew against Getafe and did a lot because he achieved that point thanks to Courtois that stopped all the occasions of a Getafe that costs God and helps to score.

Zidane He got an eleven of circumstances marked by the nine casualties he had, but despite that. decided to sit Kroos and Benzema to put Rodrygo and Mariano. An eleven that looked more like pre-season than to stay alive in the fight for LaLiga, but it is what there was at Real Madrid. With Modric As the only pure midfielder, Getafe seized the ball and pressing the whites' ball out, began to generate chances. It generated them and failed them and when not, C appearedourtois that in the first minutes he was the protagonist of Madrid.

However, in those, it appeared Mariano to score in the eighth minute, but his goal, with failure to start David soria, was canceled by an offside by millimeters. A quick play that were the only options for Madrid that relied on the speed of Vinicius and the forward's struggle to generate danger. And the truth is that it was enough to give Getafe the odd scare, like a shot from Mariano that Timor saved under sticks.

Getafe, meanwhile, kept pushing, but without finding the goal. He had plenty of chances, but they continued to fail and if not, the post appeared, as in the case of a shot from Bush.

Many changes in the band but few in the field because everything was the same. Madrid improved a bit, but continued to lose balls as if it were not difficult and Getafe continued to miss chances and meet Courtois. Thus the final stretch of the match was reached in which any mistake, a bad decision could decant the duel.

Getafe continued to squeeze a Real Madrid that in the second half was watching Soria, the azulón goal, from afar. Zidane's men had a final arreón in the final moments, but it was not enough to win a victory that would have been unfair. In the end, a point that serves Getafe to continue fighting for permanence and that is a lesser evil for Real Madrid as the game was and with the losses it had.
