In a much tougher match than expected, Real Madrid edged past CD Leganes with a 3-2 win at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, March 29, 2025, thanks to a brilliant brace from Kylian Mbappé. The French superstar proved decisive once again, helping Los Blancos stay firmly in the LaLiga EA Sports title race.

Mbappé Steps Up When It Matters

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a cheeky Panenka-style penalty, showcasing his trademark composure and flair. But the lead didn’t last long. Leganés equalized just two minutes later through Diego García, and Dani Raba gave the visitors a shocking 2-1 lead before halftime.

Real Madrid came out strong in the second half. Jude Bellingham leveled the match at 2-2 right after the break with a close-range finish in the 46th minute.

The game remained tense until Mbappé struck again. In the 76th minute, he converted a powerful, well-placed direct free kick that left the goalkeeper helpless and sealed the 3-2 comeback win for Real Madrid.
