Real Madrid without Alaba: Does the Copa del Rey go out against Leganes?

The quarter -finals of the Copa del Rey is coming up! Leganes today receives Real Madrid, which is worried despite considerable personnel. After Toni Rüdiger's injury, David Alaba now had to pause in the left leg due to an adductor injury. Spanish media report on a possible forced break of two to three weeks, which means that Alaba could miss the important games against Manchester City in the Champions League-Play-Off on February 11th and 19th, as the Krone reports.

Trainer Carlo Ancelotti is forced to do without the two stars Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, which are also slightly struck. Despite these setbacks, Real Madrid is optimistic to make it into the semi -finals against the bottom of the table. Before that, the Blancos pushed a controversial 0-1 defeat in the La Liga against Espanyol and now want to concentrate on the trophy after defeating Celta Vigo 5-2, like Si.com

The fight for the cup

Leganes, which qualified for the quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over FC Cartagena, also goes into the game with a broad breast, despite a recent 0: 1 defeat against Ray Vallecano. The team previously showed a strong shape, including a home win against Atletico Madrid, which should warn Real Madrid players of the challenges. The royal ones mostly have a good record against Leganes in the Copa del Rey, but were eliminated in the first round in the 2017/18 season.

The game takes place today, February 5, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. The game is transferred worldwide so that fans can watch how the battered stars beat and whether Real Madrid can underpin his cup ambitions despite the problem of injury.
