Cristiano Ronaldo, fired up by rival Lionel Messi's midweek hat-trick for Barcelona, struck four goals in 26 second-half minutes as Real Madrid crushed Celta Vigo 7-1 at the Bernabeu.
Substitute Gareth Bale, playing his first match since a calf injury in mid-January, rounded off the rout on Saturday nine minutes from time as Real recovered from the 1-0 derby loss at home to Atletico Madrid last weekend.
