Real Madrid were knocked out by Leganes in the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey

Now, this one was a huge blow for Los Blancos as they were dumped out of Copa del Rey on Wednesday, by Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Spanish cup was one of the few cups Real Madrid were determined to clinch after their unfavourable form in La Liga and drawing Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.

Zidane's overconfidence in the match against Leganes was one of the factors which led to Los Blancos being ignominiously knocked out of the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid kicked off with a team that did not comprise the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Marcelo and a few others, making the upset seemingly inevitable.

Real Madrid being humbled by minnows Leganes might be one of the final nails in Zidane's coffin - something that has convinced most people that it won't be long before Florentino Perez steps in to do the needful.
