The Monday postponement between Real Madrid and Getafe, scheduled for 9 p.m., closes the 26th day of La Liga. The Blancos after archiving qualification to the Champions League round of 16 by beating Benfica at the Bernabeu, return to play at home, this time for a very important league match. Arbeloa&#8217s team is called upon to redeem last round&#8217s misstep against Osasuna, a 2-1 defeat that came in the dying minutes and allowed Barcelona (who came out victorious against Villarreal over the weekend) to stretch to +4. For the merengues, the three points against Getafe are no longer an’option, but an obligation to not let the Catalans slip away and stay in their wake in the title fight.

On the other side, Bordalás&#8217s Getafe (looking for points to move away from the hot zone) will show up at the Bernabéu with their usual solid and combative set-up, intent on exploiting every little psychological crack in the hosts. For Real, it will be a test of maturity: turning the public’s drive into positive energy to chase away the ghosts of Pamplona and send a clear signal to the league.

Arbeloa faces heavy absences: Mbappe is still struggling with a knee problem, Bellingham and Militao with flexor injuries, recovered Huijsen will sit on the bench. Courtois will defend the posts, Rudiger and Alaba are favorites in the center of defense, Valverde and Tchouameni in midfield, attacking pair formed by Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia.
