Despite being one of the teams playing in the best form this season, the start of 2022 has been a bittersweet experience for Real Madrid. The start of the new year was a bad experience for Real Madrid, who suffered a one-goal defeat in a league match against Getafe yesterday. Getafe’s only goal was scored by Enas Unal from an error by Eder Milito.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his displeasure after the team’s defeat in the first match of the new year, the La Liga champions, after the match. The Italian coach said that the Real Madrid players were also on holiday during the match against Getafe.

“Ten minutes after the goal we reacted well but then panicked. We lost the ball and the fight over it. Nothing more to say about this match. We won a day off. We were not the same team that finished last year.”
“We had a lot of attention and sincerity, but we deserved a draw because we did not deserve a defeat. It would have been a good result. We gave up a defeat and lost. Ansalotti made this clear while speaking to the media.
At the same time, Ancelotti expressed optimism over the team’s performance despite the defeat. He said he felt the team had regained their competitive nature in training on Saturday and that Real Madrid could be more motivated and perform better.
