0-1 Asensio

Leganes 0 Real Madrid 1: Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale left out of squad in the Copa del Rey quarter-final clash

That is cruel on the hosts but what a finish from Marco Asensio! It’s a cross into the near post from Theo and there’s Asensio, flipping a volley inside the upright! That was pure class.

So Real Madrid have a one goal lead (and an away goal) to take back to the Bernabeu next week for the second leg. Real will be odds on to progress to the semi-finals too.

Real Madrid face a tricky away day at Leganes on Thursday, as the pair meet in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2018 Copa del Rey.

Los Blancos beat Numancia in the round of 16, and given their woeful performance in La Liga, the cup could offer them their best route to silverware.

Leganes have been steady in the top flight of Spanish football, comfortably clear of the relegation dogfight in mid-table.
