**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid cruised to a 2-0 victory over Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, bouncing back from their midweek Champions League disappointment. Goals from Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé secured the win, moving Los Blancos to within one point of La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Despite a slow start hampered by the absence of Vinicius Jr, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty after Antonio Rudiger was fouled in the box. Bellingham calmly converted the spot-kick to open the scoring. Mbappé then added a stunning second before halftime, curling a shot past the Getafe goalkeeper.

Getafe improved in the second half, testing Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and hitting the woodwork twice, but were ultimately unable to break through the Los Blancos defense. While Real Madrid missed further scoring opportunities, the 2-0 scoreline proved sufficient to secure all three points. The victory sees Real Madrid breathing down the necks of league leaders Barcelona.
