Real Madrid achieved victory against Getafe. That could be great news since, at least today, they are the leaders of the Spanish championship. With 22 points, for the moment they took advantage of the second place, which is Barcelona.
However, they still can't sing victory. Barcelona still has to play their match against Celta de Vigo on Sunday. There he could regain the lead if they win their match. It is important to note that the Culés have a better goal difference.

But this week could be fundamental for the campaign of Xavi Hernandez's team since they will play two important games. The Champions League game against Inter Milan, which could define who goes to the next round of the best European soccer tournament, and the classic against Real Madrid.
Madrid won without Benzema but the strikers did not score
Despite having a good game with more possession of the ball and even greater control of the game, Real Madrid should be concerned because strikers Vinicius, Rodrygo, and even Valverde were unable to score. They won the game because Militao, the central defender, scored with a header in the first half. Without Benzema, the team is in trouble.
