Behind the initiative is the online sports betting company Goldenpark.es, who have agreed to sponsor the Pepineros in the Copa del Rey and will honour Chiquito, who passed away aged 85 in November.
"It is a great honour that Goldenpark.es have exclusively sponsored our shirt for the Real Madrid game. They have always been by our side, since Leganés were playing in the Segunda división B, they have continually shown their loyalty and unconditional support to the club", Leganés president Victoria Pavón explained on the eve of the tie.
"This tribute is the least we could do. Chiquito revolutionized humour in España and his memory will live on with all of us", Director of Goldenpark's Online Division Elisabet Nogueras added.
