Carlo Ancelotti faces serious selection problems at the back. David Alaba, Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and Dani Carvajal are all unavailable, leaving Madrid with only one fully fit senior center-back. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé are also out, potentially affecting their attacking rhythm. A shaky defense combined with missing stars could open the door for Leganés to score.
The home side has shown resilience, especially at home, and their last match against Rayo Vallecano was pure chaos. After going down to 10 men following Sergio González’s red card, The hosts fought back and won a late penalty—only for Rayo’s goalkeeper Augusto Batalla to make crucial saves in a dramatic ending.
