With 0-2 on the scoreboard, the Coliseum stands started with a « Bordalás, Bordalás, Bordalás I love you » to the rhythm of the famous Brazilian carnival song. The deserved declaration of love to the technician who has put the Getafe in orbit was the happiest moment of the afternoon at the Coliseum. With a lot of difference. The musical moment was appreciated in a rough game like Saturday with a hangover, where Madrid worked an essential victory to start the year in conditions. The three points will allow him to fly towards the folkloric Supercup of Arabia with a good face, although his interpretation yesterday was not to open champagne.

On the way to the antepalco, in search of coffee and warmth, a couple of executives from Madrid wondered about Fede Valverde . His absence at eleven surprised and the course of the first part caused his longing. Zidane preferred Isco over the Uruguayan in the Coliseum, before a Getafe who was not there to congratulate the year, much less. In the mines that Bordalás plants in the center of the field (what a way to press his troop) the Malaga was stunned, with hardly any air to control the balls that passed through there as in pinball machine, impossible to tame. Modric was looking for life in the band, without much better luck. It was more to go ashore to the court than to look up in search of the beach. Casemiro found it in a good pass to the gap in the first sets, without Bale taking advantage of the unchecking. After 24 minutes it was difficult to read in the notes of the chroniclers in Getafe something striking, without anyone being surprised by it.

Post-vacation laziness and traces of the leathery blue box did not invite you to dream of violins. It was late zambomba, if anything. Trotting the local team was taking the appointment to his area of ​​peculiar comfort, with Madrid just barely getting his head out of his field. Suddenly, from a ball hung to the area, Arambarri hooked a photo volley to provoke the Courtois popcorn. Fat scare for whites, who were seen with a third of game consumed and no news of the rival goalkeeper. The poor clearance of Militao , at the front of the area, allowed the good opportunity Getafe, in what was a wake up call for those of Zidane. Bale was spent on absurd fights with Nyom and Benzema was thirsty for the ball. Nor did the sides appear in the compressed function that was being developed on the grass, the two teams crammed in a minimum band.

Bordalás warned on the eve that his team could not afford a minimum decision against Madrid. Maybe he said it thinking about his goalkeeper, as spectacular sometimes as trembling at other times. His worst face saved Madrid before the break, helping 0-1 in a painful outing against Varane . The play came dancing from a side foul well oriented by Kroos , to which Casemiro did not arrive shortly. In the continuation, from the opposite side and with a changed leg, Mendy focused on the heart of the area more in search of danger than of a specific head. He found the loose fist of the local goal, before the auction to the bulk of the Madrid defender. A set ball opened on Saturday the whole of Zidane, cunning to clear the way through the skies, since at ground level it seemed impossible because of the mess of the legs of Getafe and the little clairvoyance of his men.

Before 45, Courtois returned to save theirs with a couple of great stops (especially a header from Cabrera) and Benzema managed to invent an occasion struggling with Djané as if he were a pivot under the hoop. There Soria was fine. The advantage prize turned off Getafe and relieved Madrid, planted in the second half with more confidence. The party, without any government yet, was leaving holes for the fatigue of Getafe and its offensive obligations. Another ruling, of those reported by his coach, finished throwing the targets, again thanks to Varane's head. His auction, unmarked and violent, was reviewed for almost three minutes by the VAR . The mysterious stripes of geometric calculation that dictate sentence on the outside of the game this time smiled at Madrid, not like at Camp Nou. With the work billed, Bale and Vinicius dedicated themselves to missing occasions until Modric finished the 0-3 after a lonely ride in Valverde.
