Mbappé He must have been amazed when at the end of the game he was awarded the MVP of the game. You only have to look at his gesture language to realize that French is not good. He Kylian Two years ago he would have left the Bernabéu with a bag of goals. The one now, with one and thanks.
The best of Mbappé is that he had opportunities to give and take and that he scored one of the great goals he used to. The worst thing is that he misses goals with a frightening lack of confidence and that he even gives away penalties. The first, to Bellingham. The second, until the VAR annulled it, was going to be given to Rodrygo. Already Mbappé They didn't sign him to give away penalties, but to score 50 goals a year as Cristiano. Luckily, he is finding an unrecognizable Bernabéu (for the better), with infinite patience that he did not have before with any of the stars. They applauded him even when he missed an empty goal after dribbling past Soria.
While the best Mbappé returns, Madrid relies on Bellingham, Brahim and Ceballos, all three impeccable in their role of creating football. They deserved the MVP before Kylian.
El crack
Penalties can also be great goals
Bellingham is so good that he turned a penalty shot into a great goal. It is possible that it can be thrown better, but it is impossible to throw it more beautifully. The Englishman left Soria pinned with a jump and parry before a soft shot through the center. Great goal from Bellingham, who did not reject the gift from Mbappé, who preferred to cover himself in times of crisis.
Jude would return the favor eight minutes later with a through ball that the Frenchman made good with a finish at the level of what is expected of Kylian. The best of the first half was Bellingham, who once again sounded 'Hey, Jude' at the Bernabéu and had to stay in the locker room in the second half due to slight dizziness after colliding with David Soria.
On fire
Ceballos gives the team what it needs
Dani Ceballos was once again one of the most positive notes for Real Madrid. As happened against Leganés, the midfielder gave his team just what it needs: ball circulation, sense of play, pause and work. Ancelotti is enjoying the more mature version of Ceballos and seems willing to take advantage of it. Accompanying Valverde in the midfield, he was one of the best in the game and has a good chance of continuing in the eleven next Wednesday in San Mamés.
Brahim's three-in-one
Brahim started again and by 65 minutes he had already played in three positions. The man from Malaga started playing as a forward on the right wing, with the change of Bellingham he moved to the center of the field and with the substitution of Rodrygo he played as a false nine. A three in one that did not prevent him from having a great meeting. Brahim is life insurance for Ancelotti wherever he puts him, a vital player due to his versatility, something fundamental in times of injuries, as is now happening to the white team. He was about to seal his great game with a goal, but failed in the final shot.
What was Nyom thinking?
Madrid took the lead thanks to a penalty committed by Nyom, who ignored the warnings from Hernández Hérnandez. The Getafe defender paired up with Rüdiger in the corners and decided to tackle him instead of marking him. The referee saw him at the first corner kick and warned him twice before giving him a yellow card. But Nyon did his thing and in the next corner, again. Tackle. And this time with the ball in play. Obviously, penalty. The Canarian referee was waiting for him.
Getafe had them!
It was a placid afternoon for Madrid, but because they had the goalposts as allies. The white team was better, yes. And he had chances to win well, especially from Mbappé. But Madrid disconnected at the end and was able to pay for it. Uche and Patrick collided with the post and with the score 2-0, Madrid escaped a hot flash at the end, but the last minutes did not leave a good taste in the mouths of the Madrid fans.
