The double against Getafe helped Joselu rise to second on the goals scored for Real since the beginning of the season. He has 13 goals, one more than Rodrygo and two more than Vinicius, while Jude Bellingham leads with 18 goals. In the context that Karim Benzema is no longer attached, the responsibility on his shoulders is enormous. Still, Joselu is showing that he deserves to be trusted in this great team. Even if it's just a patched-up contract, although Joselu cannot be compared to Benzema, Joselu is a great striker. Real needs to take advantage of this quality of his to help the team fill the void left by Benzema.

The win at the Coliseum helped Real regain the top spot in La Liga after being surpassed by Girona. Real will not let Girona surpass them again. Previously, Real had a convincing win over Girona 3-0 on Girona's field. And I believe that will continue in the next match between the two teams. There will be no hope for Girona.

Your confidence in Real Madrid's upcoming match against Getafe is evident, and it's understandable given their strong track record and the determination to secure three crucial points for the league standings. Real Madrid's consistent performance in previous matches adds to the optimism, making it a favorable outlook for fans. It'll be interesting to witness how the match unfolds and whether Real Madrid can indeed secure the victory as expected. Regardless, the anticipation and passion for the game are always part of the thrill. Fingers crossed for a compelling and successful performance from Real Madrid tonight.


Real Madrid's upcoming clash against Getafe seems like a surefire win for Los Blancos. The points situation makes it crystal clear that they can't afford to settle for anything less than a victory if they want to reclaim that top spot. I'm confident that Real Madrid will go all out, utilizing their firepower to secure the win. When you consider their current form and size them up against Getafe, it's pretty apparent who holds the upper hand. Betting on a Real Madrid victory in this match seems like a no-brainer – an easy 1x2 bet for anyone looking to make a savvy move. Let's see the game unfold, but I'm feeling pretty certain about a smooth sail to victory for Real Madrid.

Yes that's right. The strongest candidate to win the La Liga title this season is Real Madrid. Girona is indeed good and very impressive, but if you look at the mentality and strength of a team like them, they will not be able to compete with Real Madrid. Girona will definitely lose points when they meet Real Madrid later. Moreover, the VBR Trio (Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrigo) is very solid, they can help Real Madrid achieve glory this season in both La Liga and the UCL League.

Girona will face tough matches in the next three matches, I am sure they will lose several points in these three matches. The reason is that Girona will face Real Sociedad, then Real Madrid and Bilbao.

However, the season is still long and we see that Girona is very ambitious to continue competing with Real Madrid in the race for the title. Look at what Girona has shown this season, where they have been able to impress by beating their opponents. For this reason, Real Madrid must not consider their rivals this season to be weak because a few mistakes will definitely make Girona lead the standings again.

Indeed, if you look at what the Girona coach said, they are not targeting trophies as their main target because it will be quite difficult to do that. I don't know if he humbling himself or what, but what is clear is that Girona must be wary of by Real Madrid. Because this season they still a lot of matches to play and they must always be able to get points to maintain their hopes of becoming champions this season.

No doubt that if real madrid was showing an excellent performance at this moment. It's caused by the club has been rebuilding by ancellotti again since last season but real madrid is just finding the best performance this time. Im very happy to see madrid to get an easy game against getafe. It was also making the situation far better for the club.
Madrid was getting ez win against getafe and its defenders were doing so well in this match. I think that joselu is worthy enough to become a permanent transfer for real madrid and im valuing him as a good player to play as winger or centre striker.

The club is just performing even better and consistent right now unlike barcelona which has been facing a bunch of problems that makes the performance from the club even worst. It was always struggling against the small club and i think barcelona had no chance to defend its trophy this season.
Glad to see that joselu is starting to see if he will be worthy enough to be on real madrid. I hope ancellotti will consider making him as a permanent player in real madrid. he was not young anymore but he is still having good spirit and performance for real madrid.

He has been scoring for madrid against getafe which is very good. I think that he deserves a spot in the main squad even though sometimes he seems being abandoned.

It is of course not impossible for Atletico Madrid to close that gap and take Girona's position soon, but I think it is not likely. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are fighting for 3 points in a couple of days, which means that one of the two teams will drop points or both if they tie the game while Girona can once again overtake Real Madrid or extend their lead to third position.

Atletico Madrid has still the games to be played against Barcelona and Girona, both of which will be home games for Girona. But it will be devisive how Girona will do against the top teams from Madrid. If they can ensure they don't lose both games, I think they will still be pretty well situated for the rest of the season. 8 points can vanish quickly should they lose their games against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, but the jury is still out on those games.

Real Madrid are finally back to the top of the table after their 2 goals to nil win over Getafe. This is the true definition of focus, determination and resilience. Girona has put up a good fight however, I guess it is time for them to accept the reality on ground that it is over! I know some people will argue that the league is still open and that anything can happen; well those are the people not seeing the handwriting on the wall. Madrid came prepared this season and are not showing any sign of slowing down. I drew my conclusion the day the came from a 2 nil at half time to win Almeria, from then I know that everything is aligning for their favor and time is proving me right.

After Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema left the club last summer to join Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad, Real Madrid failed to sign a recognized striker that'll replace the Frenchman at the club but in the absence of a natural no. 9 striker, Real Madrid have been able to win games and score plenty goals as well. The club's forward players are simply doing their best by scoring goals whenever it matters most just to make sure that Real Madrid are still winning their games and that's a great technical and tactical experience of the club manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Tonight they needed goals to win the Spanish La Liga game against Getafe and the big man Joselu rose up to the big occasion to produce the man of the match performance as he scored two goals in the game

I don't see Girona finishing in third position, it is either they win the La Liga title or they are runner's up. When Girona started the season so strong and were winning games, everybody thought they would have fallen a long time ago, but that hasn't happened, and they are now fully in the title race. The problem for Girona is simply the experience of Real Madrid, it would be so hard for Girona to defat Madrid in a two horse title race, it will be something unbelievable if it happens, this is why i believe there is a high chance that Girona may finish 2nd on the table.

Joselu performed really well by scoring decisive goal. That was a  valuable contribution for Madrid. I think he needs gametime to prove himself a better option than Rodrygo. There is an excitement by looking ahead to the Real Madrid vs Girona game on February 10th. The notion that the outcome might have implications on the La Liga title race certainly raises the stakes that makes it a must-watch for football enthusiasts.

La Liga title race will be more decisive with the Real Madrid vs Girona game that can play a pivotal role in shaping the final standings. The match may live up the expectations that provides thrilling moments and potentially impacting the title race in La Liga. Such high-stakes encounters often bring out the best in teams that showcases their determination and skill on the field. Fans can expect intense and competitive football as both Real Madrid and Girona for the crucial points that could propel them leading the La Liga table.

Joselu performed very well in this match, in my opinion Ancelotti should continue to play him in every match because he is a pure striker rather than Roys... I think Rodrygo is suitable to be played as a supersub. Joselu was voted MVP in this match with his two goals today. We should appreciate that he can continuously score goals.

On the other hand, I was also surprised by Ancelotti's decision in this match to lead by two goals but not rotate players, he was very strict, Ancelotti was stubborn, it seemed like he had his own rules for substituting players. If you lose, change players around 60-70 minutes, if you win, change players around 85-90 minutes. But to be honest I lost my bet on this match, I bet the total goals above 2.5 but it looks like the bookie won this match because it managed to keep the total goals below 2.5.

With the victory of Real Madrid vs Getafe today, finally Real Madrid can take over again the first position. exactly, the competition to get the first standing is very tight between Girona and also Real Madrid. It is only 2 points as the difference. Girona is awesome with its progress so far can compete with La Liga top clubs. The position may be changed or even stay like this in the next two matches because there will be a tight match between Real Madrid vs Girona. they will be playing at Santiago Bernabéu, so I think that Real Madrid will be leading.

This day, real Madrid won against Getafe with score 2 - 0, Real Madrid played dominantly offensive. But, Getafe actually also did their best, at least, they also could attack Real Madrid several times, but Real Madrid was really stronger than it.

It wasn't a surprise, but if you ask them whether they found that victory difficult or not, I will tell you that they prepared for that game like for every other game. They know that this season they have a contender who seems to be able to go the extra mile to win the title. Girona seems to not be one of that surprising teams that play well for 25 games and then their performance decreases and they lose several games. Real Madrid needed those three points and the way Joselu performed in this game against Getafe was the reason why they signed him. This is what they want from him. The timing of the goals was also great as this allowed Real Madrid to control the game for pretty much the entire duration.

Joselu's brace today provided Real Madrid with an opportunity to win the game and earn three points. The match was not expected to be difficult for them, so their victory came as no surprise. They have now increased their chances of winning the title. With a two-point lead, if they can maintain this form, Girona will only remain in second place until the end of the season, assuming they remain consistent in their matches. The league is still wide open, and I expect a very competitive season before it ends. The league title is now more between Girona and Real Madrid, as they remain the closer opponents than the teams in 3rd and 4th position which their point gaps are very large when compared to that of the teams in first and second position..

The strongest candidate to win the league remains real madrid. despite the tight competition in the table standings with a tight point difference also with girona. but the depth of the squad including the reserve players is better and better real madrid. that's what causes real madrid to be more favored. because if the main player is injured. his coating player can replace equally well in contrast to girona.

Real Madrid chances this season to win the trophy are quite big because they are only competing with Girona and I'm sure Girona will not be able to create fatal difficulties for Real Madrid. Today victory makes Real Madrid take over the leadership of the standings again where Real Madrid is already 2 points ahead of Girona. Slowly, I think Real Madrid will be able to widen the points gap with Girona. With the strength of the team being so perfectly integrated this season, Real Madrid will of course be the team at the forefront to win the title.

In fact, there is no doubt that if Barcelona weakens, Real Madrid will become champions and that has happened in several previous seasons. For this season, Barcelona has experienced quite a drastic decline in their performance so that Real Madrid, which has performed well this season, will try to take advantage of Barcelona imbalance to win the title. Apart from that, Bellingham has also found his best form this season, he is very comfortable partnering with Vini and Rodrygo in threatening the opponent's goal.

After watching Joselu play today, I can say he did alright even though he is very dramatic at falls on every touch from opposition players but he did get the goals which were the only things that separated Madrid from Getafe tonight. I have only seen Joselu play a few times amd on those occasions, his performance were quite alright. I have zero complaints. But for the striker position, he is a much better option compared to Rodygo imo.

Also, I'm looking forward to that Real Madrid vs Girona game on 10th February — it would fun to watch because whoever wins might end up winning the La liga title, who knows.

I don’t think that will be possible, even though we know that Girona might win their next match against Real Sociedad. I don’t think they will have the point to come back to the top of the table because their last meeting with Real Sociedad ended in a 1-1 draw, and everyone knows that Real Sociedad is also trying their best.

So to me, I think it will be very hard for Girona to come back to the top of the table. And their match against Real Sociedad might even end in a draw also, which we know that Real Madrid still have a game to play against Atletico Madrid, and I don’t think Atletico Madrid can win Real Madrid, so thinking about Girona at the top of the table is something that will be hard to happen.

With this recent Real Madrid form, I don't think the bitter rivals Atlético Madrid stand a chance. Yes, they may have eliminated Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey at the Wanda Metropolitano but at Real Madrid's backyard -  Santiago Bernabéu, the hosts will be looking to seek out serious revenge.



I know it's still early, but this La Liga trophy is Real Madrid's to lose.

Real Madrid have really done it and obtained a really nice advantage in the league standings. It was Joselu's day today at the same time. These two goals scored by him must be good enough to improve his self confidence. However it wouldn't still be easy for him to be a regular in the starting 11.

Personally I find Rodrygo more reliable than Joselu. I respect Joselu's effort but I don't think he is quality enough to be a regular starter for Real Madrid.
