For now, Los Blancos are still breathing down Barça’s neck — and the fight is far from over

It wasn’t pretty, but it was vital. Real Madrid battled through a tough away fixture to snatch all three points against a gritty Getafe side — keeping the La Liga title race very much alive. A last-gasp save from Thibaut Courtois in stoppage time preserved a narrow win, and perhaps even their season.

The result restores the four-point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid, setting the stage perfectly for a dramatic El Clásico. With both sides still in striking distance of the title, next week’s showdown promises to be a potential decider in one of the most thrilling title races in recent memory.

Carlo Ancelotti will be concerned by how much his team had to dig in, but ultimately, results are all that matter in the business end of the season. For now, Los Blancos are still breathing down Barça’s neck — and the fight is far from over.
