A master class of 45 minutes from Arda Güler and Two paradons in the added time of Thibaut Courtois Real Madrid were enough to Follow the Barcelona wakefour points away thanks to an exceptional first part of the Turkish midfielder, author of the goal with which the white team remains in the fight for LaLiga EA Sports after overcoming Getafe.
Güler took the opportunity that Ancelotti gave him. Among all the new pieces that appeared in Real Madrid between a mass rotation of the Italian coach, the Ottoman magician took out the jar of the essences to make a difference. He signed an initial sublime act that crowned with a goal and, although he was diluted in the second part, was the key to white survival.
With The Copa del Rey final On a very close horizon, Ancelotti risked with six changes. He gave rest to key men like Bellingham or Rodrygo and became a risk balancer who opted to walk on a very fine cable that linked the extremes of success and failure. In 180 minutes, those of the Coliseum and the Cartuja, the whole season could go for the sink.
So everyone rolled up to deal with a real bone that jumped to the most conservative playing field than usual. Bordalás went out to bite with three more djené plants, another defense, in the center of the field. Bordalás wanted to leave Real Madrid without spaces and throw the bolt around Soria. However, Ancelotti’s team was not for jokes and worked as a very committed team not to lose the Barcelona wake.
And above all, Güler stood out. Ancelotti gave gallons to the Turk, in charge of organizing the Real Madrid game. All the balls passed through their boots. His midfielder position, sometimes anchor between the defense and the center of the field, was a total success. The Turk did not disappoint and marked a first part to frame.
Of course, Real Madrid sinned of a certain indolence in the first moments of the crash, in which mile, two minutes, could mark with a second line that saved Courtois with a good stretch; A Mayoral occasion, headline after seven days on the bench, was also pointed out, but did not take advantage of a center of Juan Iglesias measured to his head: he finished it badly, out of the goal of Courtois when he was alone before the Belgian.
That irregular first quarter of Real Madrid He went to oblivion soon as Güler put himself at the controls. Until the end of the initial act, only the language of the Turk was spoken, which managed at will the game to end overwhelming the Getafe.
He himself was in charge of opening the score with a great shot from outside the area, but with his quilates football he was also the culprit of the occasions that wasted Fran García and Endrick. The first met Soria and the second with Djené, who saved under the sticks a hand in hand before the Getafe goalkeeper.
But there were still 45 minutes left. The Getafe, this course, already matched Barcelona a 0-1 and traced another 0-1 to Atlético. Everything was said, a world ahead was subtracted and the Azulón set had the need to add three points to certify salvation. Bordalás finished his initial idea and returned to 4-4-2 with the electricity of Coba and the height and corpulence of Uruguayan Álvaro Rodríguez.
Ancelotti came up with the idea of getting Camavinga, delaying Tchouaméni and advancing Güler. And, everything that worked like a clock, began to have cracks, although Endrick was able to sentence with a hand to hand against Soria in which he demonstrated a tremendous selfishness: with Güler by his side to push the ball, he decided to try a petroleum jelly that Soria guessed.
The 0-2 would have ended the Getafe, which with Endrick’s bad decision remained alive. Without Camavinga, injured in the end, with ten players at the end without changes for the Frenchman, the Getafe touched the goal with two attempts by Juanmi and Álvaro who met two savings stops from Courtois. The Getafe did not take advantage of its options, Real Madrid endured and thanks to a first excellent part of Güler and his goalkeeper, he is still alive in a season for which he walks on a wire that has not yet broken.
