REAL Madrid avoided another embarrassing Copa del Rey exit to a lower-tier club with a 5-1 fourth-round victory over Murcia on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, the record 25-time champion, smashed Ceuta 5-1 to advance 7-1 on aggregate, but lost defender Gabriel Milito to a thigh injury.
After a scoreless first leg, Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero curled Pedro Leon's pass into the top of the goal from long range in the fourth minute to put his team ahead. Gonzalo Higuain made it 2-0 in the 44th.
Madrid ran away in the second half with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso.
"The people of Madrid will be satisfied because we have left behind the history of Real Union and Alcorcon - and we played well and had fun," said coach Jose Mourinho, referring to the third-division teams which knocked out Madrid in the past two seasons.

Mourinho forced several fans from their seats in the front row of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium after being sent from the touchline in the 39th minute.
"When I was sent off I knew that I could not stay in my place and I had to look for the best place possible," the Portuguese coach said. "I didn't have a problem."
Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa was shown his second yellow card in the 82nd and, moments later, Alonso handled inside the area for Murcia to pull one back through Pedro Sanchez's penalty.
But Benzema scored his second of the campaign from a penalty in the 85th after Di Maria was pulled down, and Alonso added the last in the 89th.
Elsewhere, Striker Jozy Altidore scored his second goal of the two-legged series to help Villarreal to a 2-0 win over Poli Ejido and advance 3-1 overall. Jefferson Montero hit a first half goal at El Madrigal stadium.
Defending champion Sevilla routed Real Union 6-1 to go through 10-1 over two legs, while Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Universidad de Las Palmas to go through 6-1 on aggregate.
Real Betis made it to the next round after beating Zaragoza 2-1 to advance on away goals.
Athletic Bilbao, Levante, Deportivo La Coruna, Almeria and Espanyol also advanced.
