Alvaro Morata, in for the benched Karim Benzema, put Real ahead inside a minute and James Rodriguez made it two, but needed Lucas Vazquez to restore the two-goal advantage just before half-time after Andone pulled one back.

James (67) and Isco (77) put Real in control in the second half, before Joselu’s consolation (84), but Casemiro came on to make it 6-2 in the 87th minute and ensure Real remain behind Barcelona only on goal difference.
