REAL MADRID suffer new low as they crash out on away goals in the Copa del Rey after a shock 2-1 defeat against Leganes.
Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane chose to start a second-string side at the Bernabeu, and his selection backfired as more pressure is heaped on the Frenchman.
Javier Eraso got the opener for Leganes, before Karim Benzema pulled one back just after the break, but Gabriel Pires netted shortly after to seal a famous win for Los Legionarios.
It was the away side who started on the front foot, with Claudio Beauvue striking the post in the fifth minute from a free-kick, before Darko Brasanac forced Kiko Casilla into a fine save in the 15th minute.
And moments after Isco also made the breakthrough, Eraso fired his side in front in the 31st minute as he guided his right-footed strike from range into the top left corner.
Asier Garitano’s men could have went 2-0 just before half-time, but his attempt from the centre of the box just went wide of the left-hand post.
