A Cristiano Ronaldo double took his league tally to 30 goals and kept up Real Madrid’s chances of landing the club’s first ever treble.
Ronaldo opened the scoring with an unstoppable 25-yard shot before doubling the lead with an equally special finish from the same distance.Headers by Sergio Ramos and substitute Daniel Carvajal sealed the points.
Real, who move up to second in the table, have won their last four league games, scoring 17 without conceding.
This was every bit as emphatic as the score suggests, with Carlo Ancelotti's team hitting form at the right time.Carlo Ancelotti’s expression as Ronaldo’s spectacular second flew in summed up the sense that with the Fifa World Player of the Year in this form anything is possible with four games left.
The Madrid players presented the recently won Copa del Rey to supporters before the game and with the three points Madrid moved ahead of Barcelona into second place behind Atletico Madrid who play Valencia on Sunday.
