Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Leganes in La Liga’s 29th round, drawing level with Barcelona at the top of the table—though their rivals still have a game in hand.

The match saw Kylian Mbappé open the scoring for Real in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot, but Leganes responded quickly, turning the game around with goals from Sergio García (33') and Roberto Raba (41'). Jude Bellingham equalized early in the second half (47'), before Mbappé struck again in the 76th minute to seal the win.

Modrić Sets Another Real Madrid Record

Luka Modrić, who started the match, played until the 81st minute, when he was substituted for Aurélien Tchouaméni. As he left the pitch, the Santiago Bernabéu faithful rose to their feet, giving their legendary captain a standing ovation.

This match marked Modrić’s 387th La Liga appearance for Real Madrid, making him the foreign player with the second-most league games in the club’s history. He surpassed former teammate Marcelo (386 matches), with only Karim Benzema (439 matches) ahead of him on the all-time list.

At 38 years old, Modrić continues to be an integral part of the squad, adding another milestone to his already illustrious career at Los Blancos.
