Benzema and Courtois were the great absentees in Real Madrid's victory

Real Madrid beat Getafe and for the time being the leader of the Spanish tournament. However, the team from the Spanish capital will have to face a dangerous week before the Clásico Español against Barcelona the following week.

Despite not having two of their biggest stars, they managed to get their away result against Getafe. A goal from Militao in the first half was enough for the three points and for now, Barcelona stayed in second place.

Benzema and Courtois did not play as a precaution

Although today was an important game, neither Benzema nor Courtois played. Both are being cared for by the medical staff so that they can get to play against Barcelona the following week, although their situation is worrying since the team has had problems in the games that they have not been present.
