A WIN TO KEEP CHELSEA IN MIND // UNA VICTORIA PARA PENSAR EN EL CHELSEA [ENG/ESP]
"We didn't lose our nerve after the performance against Barcelona. We had to manage that advantage and we did it well. Today could have been a trap game. The team responded well as from the start we were well positioned and we handled the ball properly. We were worried because Getafe beat us in January. After the Champions League you could have left something behind, but the team reacted well".
"No hemos perdido la cabeza después del baño contra el Barcelona. Teníamos que manejar esa ventaja y lo hemos hecho bien. Hoy podía ser un partido trampa. El equipo ha respondido bien porque desde el principio estábamos bien colocados y hemos manejado bien el balón. Teníamos preocupación porque el Getafe nos ganó en enero. Después la Champions podía ser que dejaras algo, pero el equipo ha reaccionado bien.”
A very important win for Real Madrid against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu on Matchday 31 of LaLiga, a firm step forward for Ancelotti's side in their aspirations to win the domestic championship, a win that was more than hard work against the Blue and Whites, who came out to defend at all times and therefore made it difficult for Ancelotti's side to generate attacking play due to the lack of space.
Importantísimo triunfo del Real Madrid ante el Getafe en el Santiago Bernabéu por la Jornada 31 de LaLiga, un paso en firme para los de Ancelotti en sus aspiraciones a conquistar el torneo doméstico, un triunfo más que trabajado ante los Azulones que salieron a defenderse en todo momento y, por ende, dificultaban la generación de juego ofensivo a los de Ancelotti por la falta de espacios.
With the second leg of the quarter-final against Chelsea on the horizon, Carletto took the opportunity to rest Kroos and Modric, sending out an unprecedented midfield that performed superbly; Casemiro, Valverde and Camavinga formed a diligent and dynamic midfield, but we must admit that, without the German and the Croatian, Real Madrid play differently, the way they deal with the ball is not so fine, however adequate it may be.
Con el juego de vuelta de los cuartos de final ante el Chelsea en el horizonte, aprovecho Carletto para dar descanso a Kroos y Modric, enviando al terreno de juego un centro del campo inédito que cumplió con creces; Casemiro, Valverde y Camavinga formaron un medio campo diligente y dinámico, pero habremos de reconocer que, sin el alemán y el croata, el Real Madrid juega a otra cosa, el trato con el balón no es tan fino, por más adecuado que sea.

— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) April 10, 2022It was not an easy game for Real Madrid, as Quique Sánchez Flores' side sat deep in their own half, willing to close down the lines and make it impossible for Madrid to find the space to attack. Real Madrid had almost exclusive possession of the ball, but found it difficult to generate attacking volume due to the overcrowding of blue shirts in the lower block.
No fue un partido sencillo para el Real Madrid, los de Quique Sánchez Flores se encerraron en su propio campo dispuestos a juntar las líneas e imposibilitar que el Madrid encontrase los huecos pertinentes para atacar. El Real Madrid tuvo la posesión de la pelota casi exclusiva, pero se le dificultaba generar volumen de ataque por la sobrepoblación de camisetas azulonas en el bloque bajo.
But Madrid were to find a way through and they did so with an inspired Vinicius, the Brazilian is rediscovering that spark that makes him a deadly and influential player, each time he dares to do more things and each time he executes them better and better. In the 37th minute, Real Madrid's number 20 disguised himself as Luka Modric and produced a superb cross with the outside of his right foot in the purest style of the Croatian, which Benzema failed to get on the end of, but Casemiro did, heading in to make it 1-0 for Los Blancos and his first goal of the season.
Pero el Madrid encontraría el camino y lo haría con un Vinicius inspirado, el brasileño está reencontrando esa chispa que lo hace un jugador desequilibrante y letal, cada vez se atreve a hacer más cosas y cada vez las ejecuta mejor. Al minuto 37’ el 20 del Real Madrid se disfrazó de Luka Modric e inventó un explendido centro con el exterior del pie derecho al más puro estilo del croata no llegó Benzema a conectar en primera instancia, pero sí Casemiro que con su remate de cabeza firmaba el 1-0 para los blancos y su primer gol en todo el curso.
From then on Real Madrid would sail on calm waters, Getafe did not even try to propose after the goal from Los Blancos, who managed the tempo and the development of the match to perfection. If anything, Madrid will regret what happened in the 44th minute when Casemiro was shown a yellow card for complaining and will have to miss the all-important visit to Sevilla at the Ramón Sanchéz-Pizjuan.
De ahí en más el Real Madrid habría de navegar sobre aguas en calma, el Getafe ni siquiera intentó proponer tras el gol de los blancos que manejarían los tiempos y el desarrollo del encuentro a la perfección. Si algo puede lamentar el Madrid de lo ocurrido al minuto 44’ donde Casemiro vio una cartulina amarilla por reclamar y habrá de perderse la importantísima visita al Sevilla en el Ramón Sanchéz-Pizjuan.
A perfectly worked two-nil win for the Whites.
Un dos a cero perfectamente trabajado por los blancos.

The tone in the second half was the same as in the first, nothing changed, Madrid in total possession of the ball and looking for the opening to get the second goal, which would arrive on the 68th minute with a great combination on the right flank, Lucas Vázquez combined with Rodrygo to perfection and the Galician finished intelligently with a pass into the net to sign the definitive 2-0 for Real Madrid.
La tónica en el segundo tiempo fue la misma que la del primero, nada cambio, el Madrid en posesión total del balón y buscando la rendija para hacerse con el segundo gol que llegaría al 68’ con una gran combinación por la banda derecha, Lucas Vázquez combinó con Rodrygo a la perfección y el gallego terminó definiendo inteligentemente con un pase a la red que firmaba el 2-0 definitivo para el Real Madrid.
Minutes after Lucas Vázquez's goal, Ancelotti would make changes to his squad, Gareth Bale entered the pitch to a resounding roar of boos from Real Madrid fans who made their displeasure known. 773 days had gone by before the Welshman - who has the most expensive salary in the Real Madrid squad - played another game for his team at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Minutos después del gol de Lucas Vázquez, Ancelotti haría cambios en su plantel, Gareth Bale entró al terreno de juego en una sonora pitada por parte de la afición blanca que le hizo saber su descontento. 773 días pasaron para que el galés -que tiene el sueldo más caro en la plantilla del Real Madrid- volviera a jugar un partido con su equipo en el Santiago Bernabéu.
Madrid's great conquest in LaLiga and now they will have to focus on finishing the job they started against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Carletto's men are allowed to dream!
Gran conquista del Madrid en LaLiga y ahora sí habrá de enfocarse en finiquitar la obra que comenzó ante el Chelsea en Stamford Bridge. ¡Los de Carletto tienen permiso para soñar!

I'm sure the second leg of the UCL would be interesting and both teams; Real Madrid and Chelsea got their wins which means confidence would be high. Chelsea would need to do more but seeing how confident they would be after thrashing Southampton by 6 goals, I believe it would be an interesting game.
The second leg game on tuesday will be a very good one to watch, I expect a very offensive version of Chelsea trying to score early in the game, as for Real Madrid patience and instensity to recover the ball might be key -as it was in the first leg at the Bridge-. Both got their domestic wins, Chelsea's thrashing over Southampton is key for them to recover mentally after the harsh defeat against Real Madrid.
Yes, that's the best Chelsea can do. Attack early. It would ease them and make them push for more. It's going to be entertaining.
I am expecting them to do so, knowing Tuchel's style; but I sincerely hope Real Madrid go through to the semifinals.
I want Madrid to win too.

I think Ancelotti did a great job to keep the team calm. Very exciting to see how far this Real can go this season :)
Yeah man @ga38jem
I agree with you on that statement.
Ancelotti is a master in that specific art of keeping his teams calm. I am so excited as well, I think this Real Madrid can conqueer Europe once again this season.
Ancelotti has done so well with the team and giving Vinicius a full trust has also helped the team so much. I'm sure they'll make it to the UCL Semifinals.
Hello, @nucleus-tezz. I agree on the importance Carlo has had on trusting Vinicius and activating some other players from time to time. I hope Real Madrid make it to the semifinals.
You still hope?
Thinking this Chelsea would bring them down? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong, I think Real Madrid is fully able to be in the next round (and I think that's almost done!) but matches must be played and I wouldn't like Real Madrid to take the qualification for granted, bro!
This is quite true though but at the same time, I do not want to believe that there'll be any shocker from the match.
I am not expecting any socker from the game either, my dear friend. Let's enjoy today's match in the hope it's a good one and Real Madrid ends up advancing to the semifinals. 🙌
