Real Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to Getafe on Sunday, with Martín Satriano's stunning first-half volley proving the difference at the Bernabeu. The loss leaves Los Blancos eight points behind Barcelona in the LaLiga title race.

Madrid dominated possession but couldn't break down Getafe's resolute defense. Satriano's 39th-minute strike, a first-time volley from Mauro Arambarri's knockdown, flew past Thibaut Courtois into the top corner. The hosts pushed for an equalizer in the second half, with Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, and substitute Franco Mastantuono all coming close, but Getafe goalkeeper David Soria made several crucial saves.

Madrid's misery was compounded when Mastantuono received a straight red card in stoppage time for abusive language toward the referee. The defeat, Madrid's second consecutive loss following their last-gasp defeat at Osasuna, comes with Kylian Mbappé sidelined with a left knee sprain. Getafe climbed to 11th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
