Real Madrid Faces Leganes Ahead of Critical April Matches

Real Madrid is gearing up to face Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu this Saturday, following a two-week international break. This match precedes a critical April schedule, which includes several La Liga matches and crucial knockout fixtures in both the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is faced with strategic decisions regarding player fitness, particularly for South American internationals returning from travel. Historically, Real Madrid has dominated Leganes, having never lost to them in La Liga. As the team prepares for this weekend's match, the focus remains on advancing in domestic and European competitions. Upcoming challenges include a quarterfinal clash against Arsenal in the Champions League and a Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Sociedad, which adds to the pressure of the season.
