On August 22, 2026, Algerian international goalkeeper Luca Zidane made his official debut for his new club, Leganés, in Spain. The match took an unexpected turn when the referee sent off Leganés' goalkeeper Raúl Fernández in the 23rd minute after consulting the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) regarding a violent challenge on Oviedo's striker, Chris Ramos. Consequently, coach Rubén Albés was compelled to substitute midfielder Yassine Kachloul from Morocco for the backup goalkeeper, Luca Zidane, marking a pivotal moment in the match.
