At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 10, the 31st round of La Liga ushered in a focus battle: the leader Real Madrid hosted the weak team Getafe.
In the La Liga table, Real Madrid ranked first with 69 points in 30 games, 9 points ahead of second-place Sevilla (31 rounds) and 12 points ahead of third-place Barcelona (29 rounds).

Getafe started 532, Mayocar and Unai double forwards, and the starting eleven were also worth 100 million euros.
In the opening 3rd minute, Alaba made a long pass at the back, Rodrigo made the ball, Benzema single-handedly pushed, the ball was scored! But the referee signaled that the ball was offside. In the 5th minute, Benzema's shot from the edge of the penalty area was also deflected.
In the 18th minute, Benzema shifted the ball to the left and Valverde volleyed in the air and was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 19th minute, Vinicius crossed the crotch of the defender on the left and shot at goal, which was deflected by the goalkeeper.
In the 37th minute, Vinicius's cross from the outside of the left was met by Casemiro's header. Real Madrid lead Getafe 1-0.
In the 41st minute, a Real Madrid corner kick was fired and Benzema's header went high over the bar.
In the 45th minute, Vinicius cut inside on the left and fired a shot that was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Real Madrid continued to strengthen their attacks. In the 48th minute, Valverde went straight in and Rodrigo crossed and was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 73rd minute, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment, Benzema and Casemiro were replaced by Bale and Ceballos.
In the 82nd minute, Vinicius was replaced by Asensio. With back-to-back substitutions, Ancelotti is clearly holding back for a crucial home win at home to Chelsea in the second leg of the midweek Champions League quarter-finals.
In the 84th minute, a Real Madrid corner kick was fired and Bale's header went high over the bar.
In the 88th minute, Kabako turned around inside the penalty area and shot high over the crossbar.
In the 88th minute, Bale volleyed the ball from outside and was deflected by Getafe goalkeeper Soria.
In the 90th minute, Unai fired a powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area that hit the post and popped up.
In the end, with the goals of Casemiro and Vázquez, Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 at home, and La Liga won two consecutive wins, accumulating 72 points in 31 games to continue to lead the La Liga table, 12 points ahead of the second seat Sevilla, and Barca temporarily ranked third with 29-57 points.
Although Xavi and his players have always said that Barca's goal is to compete for the title, there are too many "debts" during the Koeman period, and hope is not much.
After Xavi replaced Koeman, Barca's record rebounded strongly, but Real Madrid did not drop the chain in the same period. In fact, compared with when Koeman was off, Barca's ranking in la Liga has improved significantly, but the point difference with Real Madrid has not narrowed. As long as Real Madrid themselves do not make mistakes, Barca do not have any chance.
