**MADRID, SPAIN** – Real Madrid’s dominance in Spanish football over the past six years is undeniable. They’ve secured three La Liga titles, three Super Cups, and a Copa del Rey, while also being the only Spanish team to reach the Champions League final in both 2022 and 2024, winning on both occasions. This starkly contrasts with their upcoming opponent, Leganés, who spent four consecutive seasons in the Segunda División before their recent promotion.

Despite Real Madrid’s overall superiority, reflected in their nearly double the points tally compared to Leganés this season (27 vs 14), a curious trend has emerged. Leganés’ Butarque stadium has become a source of frustration for Real Madrid, who have failed to win their last three matches there.

While Real Madrid holds a commanding overall record against Leganés (10 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), their last victory at Butarque dates back to February 21, 2018. Since then, two draws and a defeat have marred their record against the smaller Madrid club. These recent struggles, including draws in crucial La Liga matches in 2019 and 2020, represent a significant anomaly given Real Madrid’s overall success. This Sunday’s match will be a key test for Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they aim to break their losing streak at Butarque.
