Key match details
Madrid began sharply, and their breakthrough came in the 25th minute when Kylian Mbappe stepped up to convert a penalty after a foul in the box, sending the keeper the wrong way.
In the 52nd minute, Mbappé latched onto a precision pass from an unlikely source, Thibaut Courtois. He raced into space, and slotted in to make it 2-0.
Real Madrid continued to press, and in the 73rd minute, Mbappé completed his hat-trick with a powerful effort from just outside the area that left the goalkeeper with no chance.
Close to full time, Eduardo Camavinga rose highest from a corner to head home Real’s fourth. Then in stoppage time, Brahim Diaz sealed the result, pouncing on a loose ball inside the box and delivering the finish.
The 5-0 win was the right way to bounce back from the weekend's disappointment in the Derby, when they were beaten 5-2 by Atletico Madrid.
