At 21:00 Beijing time on January 2, the 19th round of La Liga ushered in a focus battle: the leader Real Madrid away to relegation team Getafe.
In the current La Liga table, Real Madrid is at the top of the table with 46 points from 19 wins, 14 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, 8 points ahead of second-place Sevilla (1 round less than Real Madrid), and Ancelotti won his first La Liga title as manager, which is very promising.
With 15 points in 18 wins, 3 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats, Getafe is 16th in the La Liga table, with alaves in the 18th place in the relegation zone, with only the goal difference relatively dominant, and the relegation situation is still very serious.

Mendy, Alaba, Militão, Vázquez, and goalkeeper Thibay Courtois. There are also famous players or tough players such as Hazard, Mariano, Isco and F. Valverde on the bench.
