Three second-half goals from Real Madrid gave them the win as they beat Getafe 3-0 on Sunday morning.
The visitors struggled to break down their stubborn hosts in the first period but Cristiano Ronaldo struck either side of a Gareth Bale goal as Los Blancos claimed the points.
Karim Benzema came close to opening the scoring early on when Marcelo set him up for a curling effort from the edge of the box, but he failed to find the target.
Newly-crowned Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo gave Carlo Ancelotti's side the advantage when he tapped in from close range after good work from Benzema on the touchline.
Wales international Bale then extended the advantage shortly after with a smart finish from James Rodriguez's cross.
Ronaldo then made it 3-0 with just over 10 minutes to go when he headed home from Rodriguez's delivery.
