Real Madrid beat Leganes 2-1 in a La Liga match on Saturday after coach Zinedine Zidane heavily rotated his side in preparation for Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that notable among others left out of the squad were captain Sergio Ramos and top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Wales forward Gareth Bale produced an acrobatic finish from close range on the volley to put Madrid ahead against their neighbours in the eighth minute of the game.
This was after he narrowly beat the offside trap in spite of protests from the visiting players.
Borja Mayoral doubled their lead right at the end of the first half by stabbing in from a metre out.
Again, Leganes appealed for offside, but the goal was eventually allowed to stand after the referee consulted with his assistant.
Leganes were unfortunate to go two goals down at the interval after coming close to scoring on three occasions, including Watford loanee Nordin Amrabat striking the crossbar.
They eventually pulled a goal back in the 66th minute when Darko Brasanac knocked a cutback from Amrabat into an empty net.
Leganes forward Gabriel was sent off after the final whistle.
This was for reacting furiously to the referee for ending the game just as he was shaping to shoot at goal from outside the area.
Real are third in the league on 71 points, 12 behind runaway leaders FC Barcelona and one behind second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Atletico visit Alaves on Sunday while Barca play at Deportivo La Coruna, where a point will see the Catalans become Liga champions for a 25th time.
