Getafe Shocks Real Madrid with Narrow Victory
Match Highlights
Getafe pulled off a surprising upset by defeating Real Madrid 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Satriano emerging as the hero of the match.
Controversial Moment
In addition to the final score, a notable incident occurred involving a contentious challenge by Rudiger, which left Getafe’s Diego Rico injured. This foul has sparked discussions in Germany, with some calling for Rudiger to be excluded from the national team for the forthcoming World Cup.
Player Reactions
Satriano commented on the situation, stating, “I was very close to him, and what I saw live was that he hit him in the face with his knee.”
He further expressed his confusion regarding the referee’s call, saying, “I didn’t understand the referee’s decision. It was a mistake that shouldn’t have happened; it put Diego’s health at risk. I hope they pay more attention to the next plays.”
Additionally, the Argentine player shared insights about his preparations for the match, mentioning, “When I arrived, they tried to distract me with all the trophies, with everything they had won. I tried to stay focused on my own thing, on doing my job. I already knew that together we were going to be able to win.”
