Real Madrid will have to get past Leganes in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals without Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid have filed a formal complaint to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) asking for the “immediate submission of VAR audio” related to two decisions in their 1-0 defeat by Espanyol. The complaint follows referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz’s decision to show Espanyol defender Carlos Romero a yellow card for a 60th-minute challenge on Kylian Mbappe as well as a disallowed goal by Vinicius Junior in the 21st minute after a foul by the France forward.

Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Kylian Mbappé has joined the long list of Real Madrid players sidelined due to injury.

Tradition dictates that teammates sign the match ball after a player scores a hat-trick, and Kylian Mbappé is no exception as Real Madrid stars wrote after his first.

Cristiano Ronaldo who will turn 40 on Wednesday, said that the 26-year-old Kylian Mbappe is not a natural striker and will need time to adapt at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are the first team in Europe's top five leagues to have four different players score 10 or more goals.

Carlo Ancelotti said Kylian Mbappe would miss Real Madrid's upcoming Copa del Rey quarter-final against Leganes with a bruised calf and backed his club's complaints about Spanish refereeing on Tuesday.
