Real Madrid responded to Barcelona’s La Liga title challenge with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite trailing at halftime, Carlo Ancelotti’s side showed their resilience, with Kylian Mbappe playing a decisive role.
Mbappe opened the scoring with a panenka penalty before Leganes stunned the hosts with two quick goals. Jude Bellingham restored parity after the break, and Mbappe sealed the win with a stunning free-kick assist for Fran Garcia.
The French star’s 33rd goal of the season puts him level with Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut campaign tally. Madrid now turn their focus to the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad on April 1.
