7-1 is a bit of a harsh scoreline on Depor, who took the lead at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid will be glad to win, and win convincingly, having endured a horrible season so far. Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nacho all scored braces - with each of Madrid's players performing well at a crucial time for Zinedine Zidane.
88' THREE BRACES FOR REAL MADRID! Kroos swings the ball from a right wing corner, and Varane flicks the ball onto Nacho at the far post. The defender has the time to collect the ball, turn and hammer a low shot across a despairing Ruben into the net.
85' Concern as Ronaldo is down on the ground, with the Portuguese star bleeding from a cut above his eye. Applause rings out as Ronaldo finally gets up and walks off the pitch.
84' Lucas sends in a delicious cross to the near post and Ronaldo dives in bravely to head the ball into the bottom corner, with Schar catching him in the face.
Bale sends Casemiro through on the right wing with a cleverly disguised pass, and the Brazilian sends in a delicious cross to an unmarked Ronaldo at the far post. Cristiano cannot miss and hammers a first-time volley into the roof of the net.
77' Kovacic's first involvement is to make an impressive positive run through the middle. The Croatian charges up the pitch and attempts to slide Ronaldo through on goal, but the pass is intercepted - but CR7 responds with a thumbs-up.
75' The confidence is back in Madrid's play, with Marcelo making his typical runs bursting forward, although he ends the move with a cross into Ruben's arms.
Marcelo swings a beautiful cross into the box and Ronaldo does brilliantly to chest the ball down into his own path. However, CR7 drags the ball wide when everyone expected the net to bulge!
Andone scoops the ball over the bar after Navas palms a cross into the striker's path. Moments later, Andone gets it on target after Casemiro's mistake, but Nacho slides in at the last moment to clear the ball off the line!
68' Bale charges down the right wing and sends in a low cross to Ronaldo on the edge of the box. The Portuguese star produces an ingenious backheel to set the ball up perfectly for Modric to curl the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Superb.
65' CHANCE! Benzema, who came on to jeers from the Bernabeu crowd (Dear God, that's harsh), does well to drift to the left and find Ronaldo in a modicum of space in the box. The Portuguese star attempts to curl one into the far post, but it flies wide.
63' Bale channels his inner Ronaldo and produces some mesmerizing stepovers before lofting a cross to the far post, where all Mayoral has to do is bury his header, but he makes a mess of the chance.
