Real Madrid returned to La Liga as they left it, with a big win thanks to their strike force and defensive solidity. Our team then won against Leganés at Butarque in a game that was dominated from start to finish. Mbappé opened the scoring in the first period, before Valverde and Bellingham confirmed the ninth success in the championship that allows them to move closer to the top of the classification.
From the kick-off, Real showed itself to be dominant, moving the ball in the opposite camp, emphasizing the left side, from where Mbappé created the first chances. After trying to counter Dmitrović (5 ‘), the Frenchman, served between the lines by Vini Jr., deceived the local goalkeeper (10’). However, his goal was disallowed for offside. If the connection between Vini Jr., Mbappé and Bellingham continues to cause danger, Leganés only comes into the cages of Courtois with a strike on the bar from Munir, which is ultimately disallowed due to a clear disadvantage.
Our team believes in the pursuit of goals. Arda Güler is very close to shaking the nets. After a solo move on the right where he beat two opponents, he followed up with a shot that went past the Leganés goalkeeper (25′). A few minutes later, Altimira struck a balance in the open area Vini Jr., but the referee and the VAR did not concede a penalty (35′). The Brazilian is leading the attacks madriditas at the end of the first half. It is he who takes advantage of a weak recovery from Leganés to recover the ball and transfer Mbappé who opens the scoring (43′). True returns to the locker room with a deserved advantage.
As soon as the restart, our team goes on the offensive. Although she reached the opponent’s area easily, she came up against a crowded Leganés defensive line. The second goal therefore comes from a free kick. Ceballos passes to Arda Güler who stops it to Valverde, who sends a heavy shot from the right that hits the mark (66′). Ancelotti’s men were not satisfied with this double advantage and, a few minutes later, Güler came close to scoring the third goal of the evening after an excellent combination, and Dmitrović’s (72′) cross shot unfortunately (72′).
The pace drops at the end of the game. Real Madrid is still strong in its defense against a rival that cannot create a clear chance. Conversely, with more spaces, visitors can make the brand worse. Mbappé has a double, but Dmitrović intervenes (81′). Bellingham, for its part, did not miss the mark and scored the 3-0 goal with a header from close range after a shot from Brahim was deflected by Tapia onto his bar (86′). Big win for Butarque to look calm towards Wednesday’s Champions League game.

Interviewer (Time.news Editor): Good day, and welcome to Time.news. Today, I’m thrilled to be speaking with football analyst and La Liga expert, Dr. Javier Ramos. We’ll be delving into Real Madrid’s impressive performance as they returned to the pitch after a break. Javier, thanks for joining us!
Dr. Javier Ramos: Thank you for having me! It’s always a pleasure to discuss La Liga, especially when it involves such a powerhouse as Real Madrid.
Interviewer: Absolutely! Real Madrid secured a convincing victory against Leganés. What stood out to you about their performance?
Dr. Javier Ramos: The key takeaway was their balance between offensive firepower and defensive solidity. From the start, they dictated the pace of the game. Kylian Mbappé was electric, continually creating opportunities, while players like Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham showcased their scoring prowess.
Interviewer: Mbappé’s disallowed goal seemed to set the tone for the match. How does his chemistry with Vinícius Jr. and Bellingham affect their attacking strategy?
Dr. Javier Ramos: That chemistry is crucial. It’s about more than just individual talent; it’s about understanding each other’s movements. Vinícius Jr. and Mbappé have developed a remarkable partnership where they can exploit defenses with quick exchanges. Bellingham’s ability to find space also adds another layer to their attack. This trio can dismantle opposing defenses if they maintain this level of coordination.
Interviewer: It’s interesting you mention the attacking trio because despite Leganés having a disallowed goal, they struggled to get past Courtois. What do you think Real Madrid did well defensively?
Dr. Javier Ramos: Real Madrid’s defensive structure was impressive. They pressed high, forcing Leganés into mistakes in their own half. Additionally, the backline maintained exceptional organization, minimizing clear chances for Leganés. After conceding a potential goal, they really tightened up. This blend of aggression and organization is key for any title-chasing team.
Interviewer: With this win, they’re now closer to the top of the table. Do you think Real Madrid can maintain this momentum in the upcoming matches?
Dr. Javier Ramos: If they keep this form and stay injury-free, they certainly have the potential to challenge for the title. They have a mix of experience and youthful energy right now, which is often the recipe for success in football. Consistency will be their biggest challenge, but if they can harness their current rhythm, the sky’s the limit.
Interviewer: Lastly, Arda Güler had a run that nearly led to a goal. What does his presence mean for the team’s dynamics moving forward?
