Things are going great at Real Madrid. 'Los Blancos' returned to La LIga action knowing that they would be under pressure as they would be playing after Barcelona. However, that has actually had a negative affect on Barca, not on Real Madrid.
Zidane's side have returned in superb form and matched their best winning streak this season. They would beat it if they defeated Getafe on Thursday.
Real Madrid went from 22nd October to 6th February without losing in all competitions, but they did not win more than five games consecutively. Since the break, they have won five in a row.
Therefore, the Getafe match will be as important if they do not want to lose top spot and also try and get their best winning run this campaign.
'Los Blancos' went into the coronavirus break on the back of a loss to Betis and having lost three and won just one of their last five games.
Now it seems very difficult to defeat a Real Madrid side who have got their best defensive form in for a few seasons and started scoring a bit more. The break has been good for Real Madrid.
