When this side from the capital city had made the jump from the Segunda division to La Liga this past summer, many had predicted it to be a tough challenge for Getafe to maintain their status in the first division.

The announcement of fixtures did not aid their cause with the promoted side given a task of hosting four of last season's top five teams in their first four home games.

But against all odds and courtesy of some fine management by Jose Bordalas, Getafe have impressed in each one of their games against the elite teams. Just like FC Barcelona had to toil hard for three points against Getafe, Real Madrid had to use every ounce of their energy to leave Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez with a win.

Earlier this season, against Getafe, Sevilla met the same fate, whereas Villarreal were thrashed 4-0. One thing that's certain by looking at Getafe's performances this season is that this team is here to stay! And for a long time!
