This was a worthy reward for Cadiz. Playing at the home of the defending champions, they were not at all outclassed. The visitors had 14 shots throughout the match, 5 of which were on target, while Real had 14 and 2. In the first seconds, Negredo forced Ramos to save the ball on the goal line. The striker, who played for Real in 2009, had at least two more chances but failed to capitalize.
Seeing the ineffectiveness of the attack, coach Zinedine Zidane made 4 substitutions at once after the break. Casemiro and Federico Valverde replaced Modric and Isco. However, Real still lacked breakthroughs despite dominating the ball.
Substitute Luka Jovic put the ball in the net with 10 minutes to go but Karim Benzema was ruled offside. Benzema also had a moment of stardom when his shot from outside the box hit the crossbar. And that was all Real's best work.
The result ended Real's 15-match unbeaten run in all competitions. It was also their first loss to Cadiz in nearly 30 years. The win, on the other hand, saw the visitors climb to second in La Liga. They also have 10 points, the same as Real, but have a lower goal difference and have played one more game.
Messi elbowed in Barca's defeat
Traveling to the outskirts of Madrid to face Getafe, the newly renamed FE team, it was not until the 20th minute of the match that Barca created their first dangerous situation, when Messi fired a shot that hit the home team's goal post. In the 30th minute, Griezmann continued to show his lack of luck in a Barca shirt compared to the French national team, when he shot high into the sky when facing the Getafe goalkeeper.
The turning point came in the 55th minute, when De Jong fouled Djene in the box and Getafe were awarded a penalty. From the penalty spot, Jamie Mata had no trouble beating goalkeeper Neto to open the scoring.

After conceding the goal, coach Koeman sent Ansu Fati and Coutinho onto the field. This helped Barca's game become more fluid, with more dangerous situations. However, facing Getafe's tightly organized defense, the away team Barca, despite completely dominating, could not penetrate goalkeeper David Soria's net.
Barca's clearest chance came in the 5th minute of injury time, but Messi, surrounded by 4 Getafe players, shot just wide of the post. With the minimal defeat, Barca missed the chance to rise to the top of the table, and was even pushed down to 9th place with 7 points after 4 matches.
