Real Madrid were a game behind Girona, surprising leader of La Liga.
This Thursday evening in Getafe, the Madrilenians therefore had the opportunity, if successful, to take the lead in the championship.
And it's done.
Carlo Ancelotti's men beat the neighbors from the southern suburbs of Madrid (2-0) thanks to a double from scorer Joselu (14th, 56th).
Madrid (1st, 57 points) is now two points ahead of its runner-up and 10 over third, Atlético.
