In a La Liga match held at Coliseum Stadium in Madrid, Spain, on April 23, 2025, Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Getafe CF. The match saw several intense battles across the field, with players like Brahim Diaz, Endrick, Arda Guler, Fran Garcia, and Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid facing off against their Getafe counterparts.

Arda Guler emerged as the hero of the match, scoring the decisive goal that kept Real Madrid in contention for the La Liga title. Guler's strike came midway through the first half, a powerful shot from outside the area that eluded Getafe's goalkeeper David Soria. This victory allowed Real Madrid to close the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona to just four points, especially crucial after Barcelona's own 1-0 win against Mallorca.

The match was not without its challenges for Real Madrid, as they faced potential injury concerns with David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga both being forced off the field due to suspected muscle soreness. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed uncertainty about their availability for the upcoming match against Barcelona.

Despite these setbacks, Real Madrid showcased their depth with young Brazilian striker Endrick making his first league start, while Jude Bellingham was rested on the bench. Fran Garcia also had notable attempts, testing Getafe's defense early on.

Getafe, however, did not back down easily, creating their own opportunities to score. Mauro Arambarri had a significant chance in the second half but failed to convert. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois played a crucial role in preserving Real Madrid's lead, making vital saves in stoppage time to deny Getafe's late attempts to equalize.

In other La Liga action, Athletic Bilbao strengthened their Champions League qualification chances with a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas, while Alaves moved out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win against Real Sociedad.

Looking ahead, Real Madrid is set to face arch-rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final in Seville. The teams are also scheduled to meet again in the league on May 11, adding further anticipation to their rivalry.
