Getafe belied form which saw them
enter the game without a win in eight
league games, although Toni Kroos’
half-volley rattled the crossbar just
before the break to signal Real’s intent.
Needing a win to guarantee top spot
with Barcelona playing later in the day,
Real eventually found their feet in the
second half, with Ballon d’Or winner
Ronaldo tapping home after good work
from James Rodriguez and Karim
Benzema.
The Colombian also set-up the second,
nodded home by Bale, before Ronaldo
benefitted from another James assist,
taking his tally for the season to 36.
Looking to put their Copa exit behind
them, Madrid were quick out the
blocks with Benzema and Marcelo
going close in the opening stages.
Getafe gave them few troubles, but the
visitors also struggled to find a
breakthrough, despite their dominance
of possession.
Benzema got behind the defence to
square for Marcelo from the byline, but
the Brazilian’s effort was well blocked
by Emiliano Velazquez.
