The last-moment winner from Castilla player Gonzalo Garcia saved the face of Carlo Ancelotti and the Real Madrid team as Los Blancos were on the verge of elimination after losing the two goals led to Leganes.
Real Madrid News: The Vini Modric Clash In The Club Amidst Copa Del Rey Could Rapture Team Confidence Could Pose A Serious Issue For The Crucial Game Los Blancos Have To Face This Month
Ancelotti had to make changes in the game due to unavailability of several crucial players both in attack and defense that almost backfired for the Spanish giant.

Second-Half Substitute Vini Denied The Club Captain's Instruction Causing Difficulties for Real Madrid
Defensive mistakes and lack of coordination were visible in the game which is quite natural due to lack of playing time for most of the starting 11 together as the defense line features a new duo both just crossed their teenage years and there is lack of experience. A mistake from Ramon caused a penalty, giving a chance to comeback for Leganes. In the tense situation Modric, the club captain, took the command to buckle up the team causing a clash with Vini.
Ancelotti put Vini in the second half after the penalty goal and in that time Modric was spotted to reprimand Vini for this lack of contribution in defense. The 39-year-old veteran had the match sense and sensed that Leganes could make 2-2 after conceding the penalty and wanted to unite defense supporting two young lads.
Vini Refused to Celebrate with The Team and Modric Stated There Is No Such Issue
Vini was seen furious after the conversation with Modric and Valverde came and told the Brazilian to put some respect for the veteran. After the match, Vini walked through tunnel and didn’t celebrate the win raising questions regarding the dressing room situation.
Though Modric clarified, “How else can I be with Vini? I have to be this way in games. These are things that happen in football, there's no issue. You [the media] see everything you don't have to see.” But if this happens then Madrid would be in a big soup in the crucial games of La Liga and Champions League.
