This result allows them to regain second place in the La Liga standings, while reducing Barcelona’s lead at the top to four points (with one game in hand).
According to Marca, Carlo Ancelotti said he was satisfied with the result. “ We changed the position of the attackers, with Mbappé on the outside and he did well like Vinicius on the inside. The team controlled the good feelings we had in the match against Osasuna very well and we confirmed them today. »
Ancelotti also provided an injury update on Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouaméni ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Mbappé very good on the left
“We don’t know what they think yet. We will see if Lucas and Tchouaméni can recover for Wednesday, then we will make the decisions on defense. »
Real Madrid did well against Leganés, although Liverpool will be a completely different story, especially at Anfield. The recovery of Lucas and Tchouameni would be very good news, especially in the case of the former, even if Raul Asencio impressed in his first two matches with the first team.
