Getafe Club de Fútbol is a Spanish La Liga football club based in Getafe, a city in the Madrid metropolitan area, founded in 1946 and refounded in 1983.

Historically, due to their close geographical position, Getafe has always held a strong rivalry with Leganés. They played out numerous encounters in the lower division, before the two teams fortunes began to contrast as Getafe gained ascendency and Leganés began to deteriorate.
In the first division, the side has held some tremendous matches in the last few years with Real Madrid, with the ledger being most recently squared at 3 wins each. Real Madrid's greater stature, budget and squad has never stopped Getafe from often playing their best football against their "bigger brother". Getafe and Atlético Madrid joined together in rivalry with Real Madrid.
In addition to this, Getafe has developed somewhat of a rivalry with Barcelona, which culminated in their famous 4–0 victory over their more fancied opponents during the 2006–07 Copa del Rey semi-final.

After 11 games Getafe is currently sitting at fifth place 1 point behind Villarreal.Im amazed they are doing so well, so i opened a topic for them.

Will their superb run continue or will they fall ? Today they beat Villarreal at El Madrigal by 2 goals.

Such a disgraceful performance from this bunch. Reminded me a lot of Real Madrid.

They should've seen two red cards after those Pepe-moments against Busquets & Pedro. If they are going to play like this in both games of the Copa del Rey we're in for a treat. Their pitch was shite as well.

 

[Darko]

Hate them almost as much as I hate Asspanyol.

 

[impeh]

Quique Sanchez Flores resigns as Getafe coach, less than 2 months after taking over at the club.

 

[Ini8]

Financial issues?

 

[Leo_Messi]

Can't stand this plastic club. I hope that they go bankrupt.

 

[El Flaco]

Getafe president (Ángel Torres) had an interview with Cope and recalled the Halloween incident last year when the visitors' dressing room were trashed.

On the expected pre-match directors lunch Saturday

I think that they disrespected us and I won't be attending the customary club lunch on Saturday

On Barca and its players' attitude

No one from Barcelona called me to apologise for what happened. I will always defend my club and I will not allow anyone to walk all over us - for however big F.C. Barcelona think they are

On Piqué's version of the incident

Piqué behaved badly; everything which Barça did on the night of Halloween got out of hand

[Flavia]

Except that was staged, and the pics proved this. He has some nerve to still blame the players.

 

[Galning]

It was proven fake, still butthurt Really hope they relegate.

Barça campeon, Getafe Segunda Division!

 

[Galning]

Goodbye Won't be missed.

 

[Andrew M]

I've been hoping that they would go down for like 10 years, and finally it happens! No more having to watch us play at their shitty (usually empty) ground.

Hopefully they have a nice long spell in the segunda, or preferably lower

 

[khaled_a_d]

I enjoyed them back when they were decent good team few years back .but it has been sometime since they have actually been good .so won't be missed

 

[Messi983]

Juan Eduardo Esnaider is staying Getafe's coach in Segunda. President Angel Torres is saying they have a two year plan to come back to La Liga. Hopefully it will take a lot longer.

Barça campeon, Getafe Segunda Division!

It happened.
