Ancelotti decided not to include Mbappe and Bellingham in the Copa del Rey match against Leganes. But after seeing the results, hmm, they even had a hard time achieving victory, fortunately there was a last goal from Garcia, he was the savior of this match so that the match ended 2-3 with Real Madrid's victory.
Obviously this game wasn't a priority for Madrid and that's why they had some key players who would have made them win stressfree staying on the bench all through the game , although Madrid concede goals that made their victory a slim one, Statistically Madrid performed well and so did leganes whom I'm literally seeing as tried enough to attempt equalising a game against Madrid.
Well, the point is they won and this still gets them into the next round.
I just read the news, and the reason why Mbappe and Bellingham were both excluded from the match against Leganes in the Copa del Rey was because they both suffered minor injuries.
- Mbappé suffers a calf hematoma
- Bellingham deals with a knock

Because this match will really influence the point and also position in the La Liga standing.
