Zinedine Zidane's side put pressure on Barcelona at top of La Liga with easy win against bottom club.
Real Madrid strolled to victory over Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Karim. Benzema and Isco gave Zinedine Zidane's men a 2-0 half-time lead. Gareth Bale added another after 50 minutes as they cruised to victory.
Getafe netted a late consolation through Pablo Sarabia in the 83rd minute. There was still time for James Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo to score
Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo have scored 69 league goals this season.
The win moves Madrid to within one point of La Liga leaders Barcelona, who host Valencia on Sunday evening.
Gareth Bale scored his 16th goal in just 20 league games as Real Madrid beat Getafe 5-1 to move within a point of Barcelona having been 12 points behind them just a month ago.
Barcelona can extend their lead at the top if they beat Valencia on Sunday but they go into that game under huge pressure having seen their great rivals eat up a lead that just four weeks ago looked insurmountable.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema also scored in the rout and Real Madrid’s front three of Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo have now scored 69 league goals this season, the same as Barcelona’s fading trio of Luis Suarez, Leo Messi and Neymar.
