In the 26th round of the Spanish championship, Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Getafe at home, not only losing valuable points but also drastically changing the atmosphere in the stands. Martin Satriano decided the match in the 39th minute. This result was the Madrid side's second consecutive defeat in La Liga, further increasing the pressure in the championship race.
Several sources reported that protests erupted at the Santiago Bernabéu after the defeat. In particular, some publications and sports pages on social networks cite fans chanting slogans like "Florentino - resign!" This claim has not been specifically confirmed by major agencies like Reuters, but similar reports have appeared in several sports sources. Therefore, this situation can be considered a sign of strong discontent in the stands.
This is understandable. Because Real Madrid has been stumbling unexpectedly in recent matches. The team remains in second place with 60 points after 26 matches, while league leaders Barcelona have reached 64 points. This means the difference has reached 4 points, and each subsequent mistake could lead to even more severe consequences for the Madrid team.
Another important aspect is that this defeat put significant pressure on the new head coach, Alvaro Arbeloa. Reuters also reported last week that Arbeloa's team lacked stability, and he was forced to adjust the results faster. Now, after the home defeat against Getafe, criticism is reaching not only the players but also the club management and president Florentino Perez.
In short, Real Madrid began to show signs of not just a simple defeat, but a crisis of mood. The protests at Bernabeu are not officially the club's position, of course, but they clearly demonstrate that the fans' patience has been tested. Now, for Real Madrid, the upcoming matches will be crucial not only for points but also to restore confidence.
