Hello and welcome to this MARCA in English live blog as we bring you full coverage of Real Madrid vs Getafe, as Los Blancos look to return to winning ways in LaLiga at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday, March 2. Alvaro Arbeloa's are seeking to close the gap on the leaders, Barcelona, while regaining momentum after recent setbacks and are currently second in the table, four points behind their Catalonian rivals. Meanwhile Getafe sit 13th, hoping to claim points in the capital to climb further into midtable and away from the relegation zone, of which they sit five points above, making this clash crucial for both sides' seasons. As far as momentum goes, Real Madrid enter the fixture off a 2-1 victory over Benfica in the Champions League second-leg, completing a 3-1 aggregate win, which sets up a last-16 tie against Manchester City. But they were last beaten 2-1 by Osasuna in LaLiga despite the fact that Alvaro Arbeloa's men boast the best away record in Spain this season, highlighting how finely poised and competitive the division is. Fortunately, Real Madrid hold a dominant record against Getafe, winning 31 of their previous 41 meetings, including a 1-0 success in the reverse fixture in October 2025, while Getafe have lost eight consecutive matches against the Spanish giants, scoring only once across those encounters. Getafe have not won at the Bernabeu since February 2008, underscoring the challenge ahead, despite entering Monday's game with one defeat in their last five LaLiga outings, having recently beaten Alaves 2-0 on the road, showing flashes of competitiveness. Jose Bordalas's squad has compiled eight wins, five draws, and 12 defeats from 25 league matches this season, earning 29 points, and they will rely on a five-man defence at the Bernabeu, while Martin Satriano and Luis Vazquez are expected to lead the attack.
