The Whites returned to winning at home when they defeated Getafe in their last game at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu after FC Barcelona had ended their 24-match unbeaten run as the hosts.

“This is a very tough place to come and they always make life difficult for us. We showed all of our discipline and competitiveness to try and win the game and managed to do so," Madrid full-back Lucas Vazquez said after their win over Osasuna.
 
“The two penalties would have given us a bit of breathing space, but they didn’t go our way tonight. We managed to get the win, which is important for our La Liga season. We remain top and are keen to clinch the title as soon as possible.
 
"I'm happy to have scored, to have helped the team and to have played, which is the most special feeling."
