Real Madrid returned to the top of the Spanish championship by winning 2-0 at Getafe thanks to a brace from 33-year-old Joselu in the last match of the 22nd day of La Liga.
The 18th victory allows Carlo Ancelotti's team to maintain a two-point lead over second-placed Girona and ten points over the cup formed by Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Tonight's match was also awaited for the comparison between two of the three top scorers in the championship, Jude Bellingham and Borja Mayoral (14 goals each, together with the Ukrainian from Girona Dovbyk), who however remained dry, leaving the scene to the mature globetrotter Joselu.
Bad news for Ancelotti is the injury to Antonio Rudiger, who was forced off due to injury at half-time.
The German is one of the few central defenders available and risks missing the next important matches, next Sunday's derby and the subsequent matches against rival Girona and in the Champions League.
