#3 Leganes script history
Leganes is a small town situated on the outskirts of the capital. The football club, founded 89 years ago, runs on a small budget and big hearts. When the top division side drew Real Madrid in the quarterfinals draw, absolutely no one had given them even an ounce of a chance. But look at the scenes now!
After an impressive performance in the first leg, Leganes took the game to Real Madrid in the second and scripted a historic win at the Santiago Bernabeu. The club has qualified for the semis for the first time in their 89 years long history. This feat becomes even more applaudable when one comes to know that this is Leganes' second ever season in the top flight.
Leganes are currently safe from the relegation scrap in La Liga, with a nine-point gap separating them from the bottom three sides.
It means that this year's surprise package of the Copa del Rey can completely focus on the semifinals and give it a proper go to secure their first ever trophy. Leganes will be joined by the likes of Sevilla, Valencia and FC Barcelona/Espanyol in the semifinals.
Key stat: Leganes became the first team ever to beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey after losing the first leg at home.
