Real Madrid secured an important 3-0 win at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque, allowing Los Blancos to close the gap on Barcelona to four points, with a game in hand against Valencia.

Carlo Ancelotti was very pleased with the performance against Leganés, especially with the less experienced players showing a great response, which is crucial at this stage of the season.

However, the Italian coach’s focus is not just on this match, as he has already started preparing for the upcoming clash against Liverpool, a team that Real Madrid must beat to secure three points at Anfield.

According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, although Ancelotti is still unsure of the starting lineup for the match against the Reds, Ferland Mendy will be among the players who will start.

Despite being a substitute in two consecutive La Liga matches, Mendy will return to the starting lineup on Wednesday at Anfield, as Carlo Ancelotti himself confirmed in yesterday’s press conference.

“You will be a key player at Anfield,” Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters, adding that the left-back “will be very important in Wednesday’s game.”
