Match report and player ratings from Real Madrid's 6-0 La Liga victory over Real Valladolid.

The Belgian couldn't stab a late effort into a partially guarded net but did collect a dire clearance from Asenjo, rolling the ball across for Lucas Vazquez to tuck in from close range. Carlo Ancelotti had seen enough after the first 65 minutes, emptying his bench as the tempo dwindled with each substitution. The half-time whistle served as a small mercy for Valladolid from referee Juan Luis Pulido Santana. The reigning Ballon d'Or holder saved his best for last, contorting his 35-year-old frame to acrobatically turn Rodrygo's cross into the net. The Brazilian had rubbed Ronaldo’s legs in an interview during the World Cup before wiping the "magic" onto his own limbs. Real Valladolid, watched on by their owner Ronaldo Nazario, started brightly in a stadium which had seen the Brazilian score so many goals.
