Real Madrid welcomed Eibar to the Bernabeu on Saturday knowing that a victory would move them above Atletico Madrid and into second position in La Liga.
Los Blancos dominated proceedings in the first period and entered the interval with a four-goal lead courtesy of strikes from James Rodriguez, Lucas Vasquez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jese Rodriguez.
Eibar improved in the second 45 minutes and had a number of opportunities to register their first La Liga goal against the Madrid giants, but it remained 4-0 as Real Madrid bounced back from their Champions League disappointment last week.
