MADRID, August 28, 2012
Spanish League champion Real Madrid crashed to a shock 2-1 defeat at Getafe on Sunday to leave it five points behind Barcelona after only two games of the new season.
Madrid's sluggish start has seen it held 1-1 at home to Valencia in the league followed by a 3-2 defeat by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup first leg, before this latest slip-up. Earlier, Lionel Messi struck a late brace to give Barcelona a victory over 10-man Osasuna that took it to the top of the table on goal difference over Rayo Vallecano.
