Right after the opening whistle, Real Madrid quickly deployed a strong attacking style of play. In the 11th minute, Mbappe put the ball in the net, but the goal was disallowed for offside. However, the French striker remained the main threat to the home team's defense. In the 43rd minute, he took advantage of a mistake by a Leganes defender to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
In the second half, Real Madrid continued to show their superiority. In the 66th minute, Federico Valverde had an excellent long-range shot, defeating goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, raising the score to 2-0. Not stopping there, in the 85th minute, Jude Bellingham scored the third goal for Real Madrid with a close-range header after the ball bounced out.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti made some sensible changes to the squad, bringing new life to the team's playing style. The appearances of Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz and young talent Endrick helped Real Madrid maintain a steady attacking tempo until the final minutes. In particular, young midfielder Arda Guler also left his mark with his skillful dribbling and almost scored in the 74th minute.
As for Leganes, despite their commendable efforts, they could not create enough pressure on the opponent's goal, and could not change the match situation even though coach Borja Jimenez made a few personnel changes.
With this victory, Real Madrid has 30 points, narrowing the gap with Barcelona to 4 points, while still having a match left to play. This is an important motivation to help them continue the race for the La Liga championship this season.
