Real Madrid continues their La Liga winning streak after a comfortable away victory against Getafe. The upcoming challenge against Atletico Madrid, the only team to defeat them in the league this season, looms large.
Joselu’s two goals secured a 2-0 win for the league leaders, emphasizing the need to avoid any further setbacks. Real Madrid has suffered two losses this season, both at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the Copa Del Rey and earlier in La Liga, resulting in their elimination from the cup.
Despite those setbacks, Real Madrid has displayed remarkable form this season, evident in their 10-point lead over city rivals Atletico. Atletico Madrid, known for a different style of play this season, boasts an impressive goal tally of 44 in the league, surpassed only by Girona and Real Madrid.
The attacking duo of Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata, with 13 and 11 goals respectively, poses a significant threat that Real Madrid’s defense, led by Rüdiger, aims to neutralize. However, Rüdiger’s absence from training on the eve of the match raises doubts about his inclusion, and Carlo Ancelotti may opt for alternative defensive options.
In Tchouaméni’s absence, Camavinga may take on midfield duties for added defensive stability alongside Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde, though the possibility of Modrić starting remains open. Jude Bellingham, returning to the lineup, seeks to replicate his impressive performance against Atletico in the Copa Del Rey.
Joselu’s brace has earned him Ancelotti’s trust, but the decision to persist with him or reintroduce Rodrygo alongside Vinícius in the attack remains uncertain.
Injuries have plagued Real Madrid this season, yet they maintain a remarkable 16-game winning streak in the league. Facing Atletico Madrid, the only team to have defeated them, presents an opportunity to extend their streak and solidify their position at the top of the La Liga table.
