Softfootball reports that Real Madrid’s narrow 1–0 win over Getafe on Sunday didn’t just secure three points; it set social media ablaze. From joy and admiration to fury and conspiracy theories, fans across X reacted with the usual mix of passion, sarcasm, and wild opinions that follow every big Madrid match.
Mbappé, who had earlier hailed the club as the best in the world, was on hand to finish off a game that saw a straight red card for a substitute player in less than a minute, a second red card for Getafe, and controversy in almost every corner of the feisty encounter.
One of the loudest voices came from Don Vito Negreirone @DiegoJMontero2 on X, who took aim at Getafe boss José Bordalás after the post-match drama. His jab was clearly meant to mock what he saw as hypocrisy suggesting Getafe only care about fair play when it suits them, while Madrid constantly get painted as the villains.
He wrote:
What happens on the field, stays on the field,” except when it’s against Real Madrid. Well, listen up, Bordalás, this is football too, Dad…
Another fan, Amadu @amadu_231 on X, didn’t hold back either, raging at the officiating and claiming bias was once again at play. His comment summed it up bluntly: “Real Madrid is corrupt.” The familiar cry resurfaced in dozens of threads, a typical mix of anger and frustration that seems to follow every tight Madrid win.

Meanwhile, PI @NPI_I on X vented about the team’s flat display, calling it one of the worst matches before tossing in a bit of exasperated humour. His tweet reflected the wider feeling that Madrid got the job done, but not much else as he claimed the only spark was Arda Güler.
He Lamented:
One of the worst matches from Real Madrid in a long, long time What a match we had to endure, this Real Madrid-Getafe. Jesusito, Jesusito, let me stay as I am. Thanks. Arda
For others, it was all about Arda Güler, whose late impact earned him heaps of praise. Mister Cobo @MisterCobo_on X led that chorus, saying, ‘Arda Güler continues to prove that he is a 100% essential player,’ a sentiment echoed by fans who see the young Turk as Madrid’s next creative heartbeat.

Arda Güler continues to prove that he is a 100% essential player for Real Madrid. Against Getafe, there was a noticeable lack of ideas and game vision, and as soon as Güler came on, he changed everything. The connection he has with Mbappé is spectacular. One assists, the other scores.
On the flip side, El Gato @ElGatoVikingo on X defended the referee and Madrid’s win, suggesting rivals simply can’t handle losing to them, dismissing the backlash as envy disguised as moral outrage.
He bragged:
They complain because they want the same free rein they have every day against Vinicius and Real Madrid. The bar is set so high for expelling Madrid’s rivals that now they don’t accept the application of the rules.
And then there were the Mbappé admirers. Oluwashina Bolu praised the Frenchman’s killer instinct, as the striker is having an emphatic season, claiming that if the Frenchman had better creators behind him, he could unlock even greater heights at the club.
He Analysed:
The way Mbappe times his runs is unreal. Give him a creator like Palmer or Enzo behind him man would hit 40+ a season.
Whether you call it dominance or daylight robbery, Madrid’s win once again proved one thing, no team in world football divides opinion quite like Los Blancos.
