Real Madrid showcased their championship mentality with a hard-fought 3-2 comeback victory against CD Leganés in La Liga's 29th round. The result sees Carlo Ancelotti's side temporarily draw level on points (63) with arch-rivals FC Barcelona, who face Girona on Sunday.

The match at Estadio Municipal de Butarque began ominously for Los Blancos, who trailed at halftime against the 18th-placed hosts. However, Jude Bellingham equalized after the break before Kylian Mbappé stole the show with a second-half brace, extinguishing Leganés' hopes of a famous upset.
