Real Madrid looks to keep pace in La Liga’s title race when it hosts Getafe on Monday at the Bernabéu.
Los Blancos sit second in the table with 60 points from 25 matches, trailing Barcelona by four points with a game in hand. Madrid fell 2-1 at Osasuna last weekend to hand the Catalans a chance to move to the top.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s side did advance in the Champions League last week, beating Benfica 2-1 to book a round of 16 spot, but the pressure is on to get back to winning ways in the league.
