Ronaldo netted his 14th and 15th goals of the season, while Javier Hernandez, James Hernandez and Isco also got their names on the scoresheet in what was a virtual stroll against a side that managed just one effort on target all game Saturday night, reports Xinhua.

Already without Karim Benzema, Rafael Varene and Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti opted to also rest Gareth Bale and bring in James Rodriguez, while 'Chicharito' Hernandez replaced Benzema and Nacho Gonzalez covered in central defence.
