Saturday Recap

MADRID, SPAIN - JANUARY 07: Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid CF shows his fourth Golden Ball to the audience prior to start the La Liga match between Real Madrid CF and Granada CF at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on January 7, 2017 in Madrid, Spain.  (Photo b

Los Blancos showed no mercy to their Andalusia opponents, beating the lowly side 5-0 to stretch their lead over Barcelona to six points.

Real had total control over proceedings from the 12th minute as Isco beat goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. The Spain international was influential as Benzema quickly added a second, and Ronaldo scored a third for Madrid. The game was practically over in under 30 minutes of football.

Isco grabbed his second strike shortly after the half-hour mark, and the Madrid fans were swooning in the stands as their side equalled Barca's historic record.

Casemiro added a fifth in the second half, guaranteeing additional pressure on Barca as they travel to Villarreal on Sunday.

Ronaldo was presented with his fourth Ballon d'Or title before the encounter, with the Portugal icon cheered to the rafters by Madridistas.

Atletico moved up to fourth and kickstarted their league campaign after defeating Eibar 2-0 at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua.

Niguez's well-placed header hit the back of the net after 54 minutes, and the prolific Griezmann slotted away from close range after an assist from substitute Kevin Gameiro.

Las Palmas continue to beat expectations, attaining all three points after the visit of Gijon.

The hosts scored the only goal of the game in the 55th minute thanks to Moroccan attacker Nabil El Zhar's solid finish.

The Gran Canaria club are up to eighth in La Liga, enjoying a fruitful campaign that continues to excite their fans. 

Sevilla outclassed Real Sociedad in the final game of the night, defeating the hosts 4-0 at the Anoeta Stadium in the Basque Country.

Ben Yedder scored twice in four minutes in the first half, and Sociedad were holding their heads after an abject defensive display.

More poor defending with 17 minutes on the clock saw the visitors score a third. Pablo Sarabia was the recipient of the gift as home fans groaned.

Ben Yedder gratefully accepted his chance of a hat-trick in the closing moments, as the stadium was stunned into complete silence after a rare home defeat.

Real Madrid are in fine shape as the second half of the campaign ignites, and the squad have a spring in their step as they ride high in the latest standings.

The smaller clubs in Spain simply cannot compete with Zinedine Zidane's men in this mood, and Barca will need to produce perfection if they want to have any chance of reclaiming their league crown this term.
