Just under 10 minutes left to play.
I wouldn’t rule out a Leganes equaliser…

Marko Dmitrovic has done absolutely everything he can to keep his side in this game but that wall let him down completely.
A four man wall literally parted for Kylian Mbappe’s shot to glide through the gap.
Goodness me.

GOAL – Real Madrid 3-2 Leganespublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time
Kylian Mbappe (76 mins)
Who else?
Kylian Mbappe strikes and the wall just separates completely to allow his shot to go straight through with Marko Dmitrovic wrong footed.
He finds the bottom corner and puts Real Madrid back in front.

Renato Tapia is punished for bringing down Rodrygo even though he gets the ball.
It leads to a free-kick on the edge of the area and there are plenty of Real Madrid players lining up for this one…

With Real Madrid in need of a goal, Federico Valverde is an excellent option to bring off the bench.
He loves a long-range screamer.

Real Madrid have definitely been sloppy but this is the type of games they have won over the years. I don’t see past a Real Madrid win with a third goal.

I couldn’t agree more, Mike.
Leganes have been clinical.
Real Madrid have been very sloppy at times.

Bizarre match. Madrid have dominated yet the two occasions Leganes have managed to get anywhere near the Madrid box they have scored. Defence has been poor though from Madrid.
