Real Madrid reclaimed the top spot in LaLiga on Sunday night with a tense 1-0 victory over Getafe, thanks to yet another moment of magic from Kylian Mbappe.
The match took a dramatic twist when Allan Nyom, barely a minute after coming on, was sent off for a reckless challenge — a decision that completely changed the game’s momentum.
Just moments later, Mbappe pounced, breaking free of the defense to slot home the decisive goal — his 50th strike of 2025 for club and country. The French superstar continues his unstoppable form, proving once again why he’s the heartbeat of Los Blancos’ attack.
Getafe’s woes deepened as Álex Sancris picked up a second yellow card in the 84th minute, reducing the hosts to nine men. Yet, the drama didn’t end there — Thibaut Courtois pulled off a sensational save in stoppage time to deny Getafe a late equalizer and preserve Madrid’s precious lead.
With this gritty win, Real Madrid move up to 24 points, two clear of rivals Barcelona, setting the stage for an explosive El Clásico showdown next Sunday.
Mbappe’s on fire, Madrid are flying — and the title race just got even hotter!
