The world's number one goalkeeper sinks amidst double standards and controversy as Real Madrid falls 0-1 to Getafe, trailing by 4 points, signaling the end of La Liga title hopes.

At 4:00 AM Beijing time on March 3rd, in the 26th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Getafe at home.

In the first half, Vinícius missed a one-on-one chance, Satriano broke the deadlock with a world-class strike, and Rüdiger's controversial action left Real Madrid trailing 0-1 at halftime. In the second half, Heysen squandered a great opportunity. During stoppage time, Mastantuono received a straight red card, followed by Riso being sent off after receiving two yellow cards.

In the end, Real Madrid lost 0-1 at home to Getafe, falling 4 points behind league leaders Barcelona, while Getafe sits in 11th place.

In the match between Real Madrid and Getafe, Mbappé was absent.Arbeloa deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Gonzalo García as the lone striker, supported by Güler behind him, Valverde and Vinícius on the flanks, Tchouaméni and Pitarch as the defensive midfield duo. The back four consisted of Arnold, Rüdiger, Alaba, and Carreras, with Courtois in goal. The starting lineup was valued at 617 million euros.Bordalás set up Getafe in a 5-4-1 formation, with a starting lineup valued at 37.1 million euros, less than 1/16 of Real Madrid's value.

This was originally a match with a clear favorite, but without Mbappé, Real Madrid struggled both defensively and offensively. The world's number one goalkeeper, mired in repeated double standards and "anti-China" incidents, has not only provoked backlash from thousands of fans but is also losing his competitive edge. After Real Madrid's 0-1 home defeat to Getafe, they now trail Barcelona by 4 points, suggesting that the La Liga title race may already be over this season. Given Real Madrid's current stability and form, catching up to Barcelona seems highly unlikely. Facing Manchester City in the Champions League round of 16, Real Madrid might end up empty-handed this season—an outcome many Chinese fans would welcome.

Throughout the match,Real Madrid had 77% possession, with a total of 18 shots, 7 of which were on target. Getafe had 9 shots in total, with 3 on target.While Mbappé is often criticized for affecting Real Madrid's performance, Gonzalo García's actual ability makes it hard for him to be a regular starter even in mid-to-upper La Liga teams. Without Mbappé, Real Madrid's attack falters completely.
