Real Madrid’s supporters have on Sunday evening made clear their disagreement with the winner of the official Man of the Match award in the club’s meeting with Getafe.
Los Blancos of course marked their return to action a short time ago.
After slipping to defeat at the hands of Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops welcomed Getafe to Spain’s capital, for a La Liga clash.
When all was said and done, Real emerged on the right side of a 2-0 result, owing to goals on the part of Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé.
The latter’s goal came in particularly spectacular fashion, Mbappé having bent a gorgeous finish from 20 yards in off the base of the post late in the first-half.
Over the course of the 90 minutes, however, the summer arrival in La Liga largely struggled once more.
Mbappé missed several clear-cut goalscoring chances, as well as surrendering possession on numerous occasions, and being needlessly caught offside more than once.
After the France international was named the official Man of the Match on Sunday evening, droves of Real Madrid supporters were in turn quick to make clear their feelings that others, chiefly Jude Bellingham, were more deserving of the prize.
