Real Madrid 3-1 Getafe: 5 Talking Points

#5 Make or break time for Real Madrid

Real Madrid have a 2 goal advantage over Paris Saint-Germain

The UEFA Champions League is Real Madrid's last hope of salvaging something from what has turned out to be a massively disappointing campaign, one in which they have had to play catch up not just to arch-rivals Barcelona but against teams including city rivals Atletico Madrid and Valencia, who have now emerged as new forces in Spanish football.

Real Madrid are currently 12 points adrift of Barcelona, who are scheduled to play Atletico tomorrow in what could be a potential title decider. The result is unlikely to spark any sense of optimism among the Los Blancos faithful who already believe that they are out of the title race.

The shock Copa del Rey exit to CD Leganes back in January added further insult to the European champions' disappointing campaign and they are now left with a crucial round-of-16 second leg fixture against Paris Saint-Germain.

Zinedine Zidane's men lead the tie 3-1 on aggregate thanks to a commanding performance at the Bernabeu but they travel to Parc des Princes in two days time to try and ensure smooth qualification to the next round.
