CRISTIANO Ronaldo took his league tally for the season to 30 as leader Real Madrid swept aside Espanyol 5-0 at the Bernabeu to restore its 10-point advantage over Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday.
The Portuguese forward, last season's European Golden Boot winner with 40 league goals, opened the scoring from Gonzalo Higuain's layoff in the 23rd minute, to take his total in all competitions to 38.
Sami Khedira doubled the lead after playing a one-two with his German teammate Mesut Ozil in the 38th minute and Higuain buried a third just after the re-start. Kaka set up the third, bagged the fourth with a run and shot off the post in the 66th, and pulled back for Higuain to hammer the fifth high into the net in the 78th.
Jose Mourinho's team moved a step closer towards its first league title in four years as it climbed to 67 points with 13 left to play.
Earlier, Athletic Bilbao prepared for its Europa League clash with Manchester United by beating Real Sociedad 2-0 thanks to a double from Markel Susaeta.
In Italy, Diego Forlan and Diego Milito scored in the last 20 minutes to give Inter a 2-2 home draw with Catania, ending a run of five successive defeats without scoring and possibly saving coach Claudio Ranieri's job.
