Real Madrid secured a dramatic 3-2 victory against Leganes at the Santiago Bernabéu last night, showcasing resilience and flair to remain level on points with Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title.
The match saw Real Madrid take the lead in the 32nd minute through Kylian Mbappé, who calmly slotted home a penalty with a Panenka-style finish—his 21st goal of the league season. However, Leganes responded just a minute later with Diego García netting the equalizer, followed by Dani Raba capitalizing on a midfield error to put the visitors ahead in the 41st minute.
After the break, Real Madrid came out firing, with Jude Bellingham finding an equalizer in the 47th minute. The English midfielder pounced on a rebound to bring the score level. The decisive moment arrived in the 76th minute when Mbappé scored his first-ever direct free kick goal, sealing the win for the home side.
Despite a spirited performance by Leganes, Real Madrid held their ground to secure three crucial points. This win sets up an exciting title race, with Barcelona yet to play Girona. Meanwhile, Real Madrid shifts focus to their upcoming Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad and the challenges ahead in both domestic and European competitions.
