Leganés heats up the match against Real Madrid with a controversial poster

Leganés doesn't wait and heats up the match against Los Merengues with a poster already circulating on social media

The white team has the next match against Leganés for the Copa del Rey, where they will face a great team.  However, it seems that this match will already be plagued with controversy due to a very controversial poster. With this, Leganés has tried to calm the waters a bit regarding all the attention from the match against Espanyol.

The poster clearly reads the phrase "Partido Várbaro," referring to what happened with the VAR in Madrid's last match.  While for many this is a statement of intent by Leganés, others have taken it as a joke. In fact, the intention of this poster is indeed to calm the situation a bit and enjoy this upcoming match.

This, of course, has not gone unnoticed on social media, where they immediately exposed this poster. Many have taken it as a very good way to approach this upcoming match with a bit more joy.

It has caused many opinions

Doing this kind of thing by the marketing departments is a risky bet, where it often causes annoyance. While it is true that there is surely a sector of Madridism that didn't find this amusing, there is an extensive one that did.

In some way, Leganés tries to return to normalcy for their match and stop so much controversy in between. Something that, besides generating a good show during that match, calms a bit all the tension that could be directed against them.

Moreover, it is something very clever and very well crafted by the club's social media department, which has taken advantage of all the buzz. However, despite this being a very interesting gesture, it will not remove Real Madrid's complaints, and they will seek justice.

The damage is already done

Regardless of this, Real Madrid considers that what happened in this match and others specifically mentioned in their letter remains a bad present. Therefore, even though this match may divert attention a bit, they will continue on their path in search of justice.
