Real Madrid Triumphs Over Leganés in a Hard-Fought Battle
What a game we witnessed between Real Madrid and Leganés! It was an intense and dramatic showdown at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Los Blancos narrowly securing a 3-2 victory. But beyond the scoreline, there was plenty to unpack, from controversial refereeing decisions to standout performances that defined the night.
Carlo Ancelotti, as always, had his say after the game. Leganés had plenty to complain about regarding the officiating, but Ancelotti pointed out that Real Madrid could also raise concerns. One of the key moments he highlighted was a potential foul on Brahim Díaz before Leganés' second goal. The Italian coach put it simply: "They complain, but we can too." It was one of those games where decisions could have gone either way, and in the end, the referee made the calls.
Despite the controversy, Real Madrid didn’t play a bad game. Ancelotti admitted that they lacked balance, which led to the two goals conceded. But overall, the team showed control and, most importantly, resilience. There were even some whistles from the Bernabéu crowd, but Ancelotti remained calm, focusing on the positives rather than the criticism.

And, of course, we have to talk about Kylian Mbappé. The French superstar was once again the difference-maker. His double was crucial, especially the winning goal from a beautifully executed free kick. With that, he matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 33 goals in his debut season for Real Madrid. He’s been simply sensational, carrying the team forward at key moments.
It wasn’t just Mbappé, though. Arda Güler also had a solid performance, showing flashes of brilliance. While he may not be as explosive as some of his teammates, his technical ability and vision were evident. Ancelotti acknowledged his impact, stating that he was taken off purely for tactical reasons.
The victory keeps Real Madrid in a strong position in the title race. When asked if this was now a two-horse race between Madrid and Barcelona, Ancelotti kept his options open, acknowledging Atlético Madrid's fight but making it clear that Los Blancos will battle until the end.
While the game itself was thrilling, it also highlighted areas where Madrid needs to improve. The team has been grinding out wins, but many of them have been hard-fought battles. With the season reaching its climax, maintaining intensity and managing fatigue will be crucial.
All in all, it was another classic Real Madrid night—controversy, drama, and a star stepping up when it mattered most. What did you think of the match? Let’s discuss!
