Real Madrid duo Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo to miss Leganes clash

Ramos, Ronaldo to miss Leganes clash

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has opted to leave out Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo for Saturday's fixture with Leganes.

Zidane and his first-team squad still have ambitions to finish in second place in the La Liga standings, with Atletico Madrid only holding a four-point advantage having played one game more than their neighbours.

However, Zidane has seemingly prioritised the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich after handing Ramos and Ronaldo a rest for Saturday's game at the Bernabeu.

Ramos has made a total of 34 starts for Real in all competitions this season, while Ronaldo has featured on 38 occasions.

Zidane could potentially hand a chance to Gareth Bale, who has started a number of games on the bench in recent weeks.
