After losing their last La Liga match and relinquishing their lead at the top just over a week ago, Real Madrid needed a victory against Getafe to keep their title hopes alive.
Playing without Kylian Mbappé, they found themselves trailing at halftime due to a spectacular goal from the opposition.

Despite dominating possession with 80% in the first half, Los Blancos struggled to create significant scoring opportunities, clearly missing their injured leading scorer.
The situation worsened just six minutes before halftime when Martín Satriano struck a remarkable shot from just outside the box.
The ball flew past Thibaut Courtois, leaving the Bernabéu crowd in disbelief.
Will Vini Jr. or Gonzalo García rise to the occasion in place of Mbappé to ignite a comeback and narrow the gap with Barcelona to just one point?
