Real Madrid with no Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale: just one defeat

The LaLiga leaders face Leganés without the rested Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, but the stats indicate they can manage...

Real Madrid meet Leganés in LaLiga tonight (21:30 CEST) without Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale - but history suggests they'll cope in their absence.

With his team facing a demanding April schedule, boss Zinedine Zidane has opted to rest the pair - and Toni Kroos - leaving them out of his squad altogether.

In the nearly four years that Cristiano and Bale have shared the Real dressing room, Los Blancos have played a total of 14 games without either of the two.

Just the one loss with no Cristiano or Bale

And the LaLiga leaders' record in those matches offers their fans cause for optimism: they've picked up 11 wins, two draws (both Copa del Rey stalemates that did not prevent them from reaching the following round) and just the one defeat.

Real's only reverse in a game featuring neither Cristiano nor Bale came back in May 2014, when they lost 2-0 at Celta Vigo in the league.
