Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are out! Can Real Madrid still shine in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals against Leganes? Find out all the juicy details!
Real Madrid is set to battle Leganes in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, but the team is facing a challenge of epic proportions as head coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that some of his star players will be sidelined. Fans are reeling after the announcement that Kylian Mbappe will miss the match due to a bruised calf, while England’s sensation Jude Bellingham is also out of the action. This leaves a significant gap in Real's plans, as they look to secure a spot in the final four of Spain's prestigious cup competition.
The quarterfinal clash will take place at the Estadi Municipal de Butarque on Wednesday at 9:00 pm CET, and despite the absence of these superstars, the pressure remains high for Real Madrid. The squad for the match has been confirmed, featuring goalkeepers Lunin, Fran González, and Sergio Mestre. Defenders Lucas Vázquez, Vallejo, and Mendy will have to step up their game and provide the necessary support to their teammates in order to progress. The team's resilience will surely be put to the test as they navigate this fierce encounter without some of their brightest talents.
For Ancelotti, managing the team through this turbulent phase is critical. He emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and adapting strategies on the go. The gaffer will need his remaining troops to rise to the occasion in a match that is already being dubbed a ‘must-win’. With a chance to showcase their depth and determination, the remainder of the squad has an opportunity to snatch glory even in adversity.
However, all hope is not lost! Real Madrid has a rich history in the Copa del Rey and a strong backup plan in place. Their impressive roster is filled with experienced players who can make big contributions. Can they pull off an upset and charm their fans despite the absences? All eyes are on Butarque as fans eagerly anticipate the drama that unfolds.
For those less familiar with the Copa del Rey, did you know it's one of the oldest football competitions in the world, dating back to 1903?
