Leganes 0-1 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

#2 Leganes punched above their weight

Leganes had Real Madrid's numbers

Yes, they lost eventually, but that shouldn't take the credit off the stones they showed tonight. Leganes knew their chances in the game was not even a sausage, but that didn't clamp down the fighting spirit they've been exuding since the beginning of the season.

Set-up in an attacking shape of 4-2-3-1, Los Legionarios sparked many a nervous moment in the box as the Madrid defence appeared flat and feeble.

With Javier Eraso swimming against the tide to take control of the midfield, Jose Naranjo and Claudio Beauveu heckled the visitors with their forays and also some shots that forced Kiko Casilla to intervene with juddering stops.

The hosts almost bagged the opener when Marcos Llorente headed against their own post, while Nordin Amrabat injected more poise to their attack with another dangerous effort.

Leganes conjured six shots in a lively night, whilst also keeping things tight at the back for large spells of the match.
