Real Madrid will look to get back into the race for first place in the Spanish League when it takes on Getafe on Sunday.
The Spanish giants are coming off a huge 6-1 win against Galatasaray in the Champions League. The team struggled early on but managed a huge second half that featured three goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and a brace from Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo was extremely impressed by his team's start and claimed that it was the best case scenario for Los Blancos.
"Things couldn't have started better for us," he said, according to ESPN. "Scoring six goals is really good and will give us a lot of confidence. We wanted to start well against a good team who showed their ability in the first 20 minutes, they created chances."
"It was a good game," Ancelotti added. "The result was fantastic. We suffered a little during the first half. But after Isco's goal the game became a little easier for us. It's good for us to improve our confidence. It is not an easy stadium to play at where the pressure is so high. Hopefully Iker will be back with us in three or four days."
Madrid currently sits in fourth place in the Spanish League thanks to a draw with Villarreal last week. They will look to take down a 14th place Getafe side that has one win, one draw and two losses this season.
Prediction: Madrid wins 3-0.
Start Time: 1 p.m. EST
