Real Madrid go top of La Liga as Mbappe scores
The Island
|October 21, 2025
Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal as Real Madrid beat nine-man Getafe to move above reigning champions Barcelona and return to the top of La Liga.
-
The hosts had substitute Allan Nyom sent off for violent conduct only 44 seconds after he came on as the former Watford and West Brom fullback was judged to have elbowed Vinicius Jr.
Real instantly made their numerical advantage count as Mbappe collected Arda Guler's pass through the heart of the Getafe defence and slotted the ball past keeper David Soria in the 80th minute.
The home side's task to get back into the game then became even harder as striker Alex Sancris was dismissed for a second bookable offence with six minutes left.
