Twitter explodes as Real Madrid crash out of the Copa del Rey

Things really don't seem to be going in Zinedine Zidane's favour right now as Real Madrid hit a new low this season after getting knocked out in the quarterfinals of the 2017/18 Copa del Rey by Leganes.

Having lost 1-0 in the home leg earlier, Leganes completed a turnaround by winning 2-1 at the Bernabeu and subsequently going through to the semifinals on away goals. Twitter, understandably, exploded at this unexpected result and here are some of the best tweets:

Zinedine Zidane. The man who gave the best and worst season in Real Madrid modern history in literally 2 years.

Zidane is by far the best manager in Real Madrid in recent memory. He is also at the same time by far the worse manager in Real Madrid in recent memory. I don’t even know how this works anymore 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did you know? Leganés are known as “Pepineros” in Spain: cucumber growers. Real Madrid were knocked out by farmers.

Just to confirm that the Spanish FA is about to rename Leganes to Eganes. They left the L for Real Madrid.
