Leganés' Fearless Football: Upending the Giants

Borja Jiménez, the second-youngest coach in LaLiga, has his Leganés team playing fearless football against the best teams in Spain. In the past five weeks, they have beaten Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and qualified for the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. Now, they are set to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, with the first leg to be played at Leganés' Butarque stadium.

Jiménez's team is known for their pugnacious, well-organised, and high-intensity defensive performances. They have conceded just 19 goals in 20 league games this season, the second-best defensive record in the league. They have also scored 27 goals, the joint-sixth highest in the league.

The key to Leganés' success has been their ability to defend as a team and limit the opposition's chances. They have also been clinical in front of goal, taking their chances when they come. Against Barcelona, they scored a 94th-minute winner, while against Atlético Madrid, they scored a 90th-minute equaliser before winning the penalty shootout.

Jiménez has been able to get the best out of his players, many of whom are relatively unknown. He has also been able to instill a sense of belief and confidence in his team, which has allowed them to perform above expectations.

The next challenge for Leganés will be to take on Real Madrid, the reigning champions of Spain. The first leg of the quarterfinal will be played at the Butarque stadium, which has a capacity of 13,000. It will be a difficult task for Leganés, but they will be hoping to cause an upset and reach their first ever cup semifinal.
