In a terrible blow, Real Madrid have revealed that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga sustained a major injury during last night's triumph over Getafe. "Our player Eduardo Camavinga has been diagnosed with a complete tear of the left adductor tendon after Real Madrid Medical Services performed tests on him today." The club's statement read, "Pending evolution." Camavinga did not start against Getafe yesterday night, but he came on as a half-time substitute for David Alaba, who was also experiencing trouble. A late duel with an opposing player resulted in the injury, prompting manager Carlo Ancelotti to remove him, leaving Real Madrid with only ten men in the final few minutes of the game. It has already been established that Camavinga's left adductor tendon is completely torn. While the club's announcement does not include a particular recovery schedule, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the French midfielder's season is ended. Indeed, Ca...

Last La Liga matchday, the Argentine striker for Atletico Madrid was sent off after he severely abused the referee. Following his dismissal in Getafe, there were rumors that Correa would face severe punishment for his taunts directed at the referee. The sentence has already been determined by the Committee. 🟥 The Disciplinary Committee of the RFEF sanctions Ángel Correa with 5 matches after his expulsion in Getafe. ➡️ Four for insulting the referee and one for the expulsion. ❌ The sanction will be served in the league and cup. This punishment must be fulfilled in both La Liga and Copa del Rey, meaning Correa will miss the next five Atleti games.

Atlético de Madrid squandered a golden opportunity to move to the top of La Liga when they imploded late on in stunning and uncharacteristic fashion, losing 2-1 at Getafe. Atleti were frustrated for much of the game, but they appeared to be on their way to a big three-point victory that would have put them at the top of the table when they were awarded a controversial penalty for handball with 15 minutes left. Alexander Sørloth scored a penalty shot low to the goalkeeper's left, but Diego Simeone's team suffered a disastrous turn of events. With three minutes left, Atleti's birthday boy Ángel Correa was sent off. Getafe equalized with a free-kick from Mauro Arambarri, who miskicked his first attempt. The drama didn't end there; Ambarri was the man of the moment again in injury time, diverting a wayward shot home with an instinctive finish that left Atleti stunned and handed them their third loss of the season, which could see them overtaken by Real Madrid. The wou...

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, has issued an update on the condition of midfield standout Jude Bellingham. This comes after the England international raised alarms among the Blancos fans on Sunday evening. Real Madrid, of course, made their return to play recently, hosting Getafe in the Spanish capital for a La Liga match. When all was said and done, the day's hosts won comfortably by a score of two goals to zero. The aforementioned Bellingham had a key role in this, scoring the game's first goal from the penalty spot and setting up a wonderful assist for Kylian Mbappé. In turn, it came as a great surprise when Real's players emerged for the second half and the 21-year-old was missing. Speaking to the media after the full-time whistle, manager Carlo Ancelotti was instantly asked about Bellingham's well-being. In his reaction, the Italian tactician explained: "Jude Bellingham?"

Real Madrid may not be in the best of form right now, but they have won three consecutive La Liga games after defeating Getafe 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's team dominated the first half, but they had to wait until the 30th minute to open the scoring. Allan Nyom was found to have hauled down Antonio Rudiger within the penalty area, giving Jude Bellingham a chance to score from 12 yards, which he did. Bellingham turned provider a few minutes later, as Real Madrid extended their lead. He sent a great through ball to Kylian Mbappe, who broke in behind and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner. Real Madrid pressed for a third in the second half, but it was unnecessary. The result means that the incumbent champions are currently one point behind Barcelona in the rankings, despite playing one fewer game.

The outcome of Getafe's La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano has produced an eye-catching statistic. The two teams faced off at the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday night, hoping to maintain their respective unblemished starts to the season. When all was said and done, they achieved precisely that with a 0-0 tie. It's safe to assume that neither side is likely to be very pleased with how much came about. Getafe, for their part, took 12 shots over the course of 90 minutes, while Rayo contributed three of their own. Incredibly, not a single one of them was able to find the target, demonstrating a startling level of profligacy. And, as previously stated, the two teams have etched their names into the record books of Spanish football in an entirely undesirable manner. According to statisticians Opta: "Rayo Vallecano is the first LaLiga match since at least the 2003/04 season (when such records began) without a single shot on target." 0 - Getafe-Rayo Vallecano is the first L...
