An image archive provides a look at the recent history of Getafe CF's clashes with Real Madrid in La Liga. The collection includes pictures from several duels held between 2017 and 2022.
The team then led by José Bordalás was known for putting up a fight in these fixtures. A visual report captures key moments from at least three league matches. One took place on February 9, 2021, at Real Madrid's Ciudad Deportiva in Valdebebas. Another documented encounter is from January 1, 2022, with Getafe as the home side. A third archived clash is from April 25, 2019, completing a trilogy of duels within a four-year period.
The images, credited to LiveMedia/DPPI/Oscar Barroso, serve as a record of the competitive intensity that has defined these matches. Getafe has historically aimed to upset their powerful neighbours, a task requiring maximum concentration and collective effort. The squad list faces this challenge with several key absences, which lists Abdel Abqar, Andrés García, Christantus Uche, Juanmi, and Mario Martín.
The club's present context is quite different from those years. After a tough start to the 2026/27 season, with a recent form of loss, win, loss (LWL), the immediate focus is on the next fixture. Getafe will host Deportivo La Coruna at home on September 13, 2026. The opponent, sitting in fifth place, represents another significant challenge to earn points.
The need to improve in attack is clear, with only one goal scored in three matchdays. Defensive solidity, a traditional hallmark of the team, also needs shoring up after letting in four goals. Fans can track the schedule evolution in our fixtures section to stay updated on all commitments.
These visual archives show the regularity with which Getafe has faced Real Madrid in the top flight. Each match is an opportunity to make a mark and secure a result for the history books. The club's persistence in La Liga over these years has kept this metropolitan rivalry alive.
Beyond the specific results of those past games, the collection reflects the essence of a club that never backs down. The current position in the standings shows the road is hard, but recent history proves difficult matches are a constant that Getafe knows how to face. The next challenge is the duel against Deportivo La Coruna at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
