Leganes record history on Thursday (25/1) early morning WIB, with them to be the first team in history that is able to get rid of Real Madrid from Copa del Rey by securing victory at the Santiago Bernabeu after losing first dileg.
Madrid's downturn continues this season, as Zinedine Zidane's men are temporarily behind 19 points behind Barcelona who top the La Liga standings.
As for before the party was held, the Copa del Rey and Champions League became the hope of Madrid to gain trophies and, after securing victory at Leganes headquarters through Marcos Asensio, Madrid should be on paper no trouble advance to the semi-finals when entertaining teams that last season compete in the lower zone.
Historically, Los Blancos have never failed to retain its lead in the first leg of the Copa when playing at home and Leganes, which in this season has been growing, it presents an unexpected surprise.
Javier Eraso's goal after half an hour made the opponent's lead, on the contrary the home side deserved to be highlighted for failing to release a single goal-kick in the first half, and it became the second time of the season. However Karim Benzema appeared to equalize the score after the break and it had time to make Madrid back favorite.
Then the whole stadium was stunned after Leganes scored his second goal with Gabriel's header seven minutes after Benzema's pascagol, and Madrid could never catch up after.
The defeat feels brutal for Madrid, who will face a tough task against Paris Saint-Germain in which there are Neymar and Edinson Cavani in the last 16 of the Champions League, while the European championship is now the only hope of the Spanish capital club to avoid the season which was disappointing.
Before the duel, Madrid will face three league games against Valencia, Levante and Real Sociedad, and Zidane's troops should be back on track to have a little hope before meeting the French giants.
For Leganes, this victory against Madrid will be recorded in history, as they will now play the Copa del Rey semi-final for the first time. In the last four, they will be accompanied by Sevilla, Valencia and Barcelona or Espanyol.
