The royal holds the gap to Barcelona on four points. On Saturday, both teams meet in the cup final.
Real Madrid has put a lackluster dress rehearsal for the final of the Spanish football cup. The record champion defeated FC Getafe Getafe with a little luck and thanks to the strong goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois 1-0 (1-0) and reduced the deficit to La-Liga table leader FC Barcelona to four points. On Saturday (10 p.m./ DAZN ), the arch -rivals face each other in the final of the Copa del Rey in Seville.
Arda Güler (21st) scored the goal of the day for the royal, Getafe goalkeeper David Soria did not look good at the Turk’s long -range shot.
Rotation at Real before the cup final
Coach Carlo Ancelotti had probably rotated a lot with a view to the cup final, said international Antonio Rüdiger on the bench for the entire season. Other stars such as the former Dortmund Jude Bellingham received a break at least temporarily.
Five game days are still pending. The greatest chance to put pressure on the catalans of coach Hansi Flick again is real on May 11th. Then Barcelona welcomes the Madrilenen in the league to the Clasico.
