After a shaky start, Real Madrid has reignited their La Liga title hopes with a commanding 3–0 victory over Leganés. This win narrows the point gap with Barcelona to just four, and with a game in hand, Real could close it to one, firmly reentering the race for the championship.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical tweaks were pivotal. For the first time in recent matches, Kylian Mbappé played on the wing while Vinícius Jr. took on a central role. The result? A rejuvenated Mbappé, who ended his five-match goal drought, and a dynamic Vinícius, who created opportunities and controlled the attack. The combination proved lethal, with Mbappé scoring, Jude Bellingham netting his second goal in consecutive games, and Fede Valverde adding another.
Ancelotti praised his team’s adaptability, highlighting Mbappé’s energy on the flank and Vinícius’ creativity in the center. “The team was solid and focused,” said Ancelotti. “Both players are improving step by step, and their chemistry is growing.”
With tactical flexibility and star performances, Real Madrid is proving their resilience. As the La Liga season heats up, the title race is far from over, and Los Blancos are firmly in contention to reclaim the throne.
