Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger was seen laughing after Barcelona’s unexpected loss to Leganes on Saturday.

Hansi Flick’s side missed the chance to go three points clear at the top of La Liga, suffering a surprising 1-0 defeat against relegation-threatened Leganes. Earlier that day, Atletico Madrid continued their strong form with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Getafe, allowing them to leapfrog Real Madrid in the standings and level points with Barcelona, putting pressure on both teams ahead of their evening matches.

After Real’s 3-3 draw with Rayo Vallecano, Rudiger likely felt down about the two points dropped. However, his spirits lifted when he learned about Barcelona’s defeat, prompting him to burst into laughter.

Currently, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is just one point behind both Barcelona and Atletico, although the Catalan club has played one more game. Barcelona has had a challenging few months, dropping 13 points in their last six league matches. Their situation worsened when 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal suffered an ankle injury against Leganes, sidelining him until the new year.

This injury comes at a critical time, as Barcelona prepares to host Atletico in a crucial top-of-the-table clash next Saturday. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s next La Liga match is at home against 11th-place Sevilla on Sunday.
