"No, of course not. There are 36 points left, and we have to fight for them. Nobody here will give up, this is Real Madrid. Four points is a gap we think we can bridge."
"It's a game where we could have done better. We had much clearer chances than them, but football isn't about what you deserve. Getafe did what they do. Nothing happened that we didn't expect to happen."
"We have great players, a great squad, and players who will recover and help us a lot. We can do things better on the pitch. I understand the criticism after a defeat like this."
Real Madrid suffered a surprising 1-0 home defeat to Getafe, with Martín Satriano scoring a first-half goal. Despite creating numerous chances, Madrid failed to convert and fell four points behind Barcelona in the LaLiga standings. The match ended tensely with player clashes and Franco Mastantuono's red card for dissent in the 95th minute. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa rejected suggestions the title race was over, emphasizing 36 points remain available. Madrid currently lacks key players Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham due to injuries. Arbeloa acknowledged the team could perform better tactically while defending his players' effort, noting Getafe executed their game plan effectively.
