Cristiano Ronaldo became Real Madrid's all-time top scorer as Rafael Benitez's side saw off Levante 3-0 to go top of the Primera Division on Saturday.
The prolific forward hit his 324th goal in 310 games in the white of Madrid just three minutes after Marcelo had given the hosts the lead midway through the first half, moving ahead of Raul as the club's leading marksman.
Although Levante had made a positive start to the game, Ronaldo's strike gave Madrid a comfortable lead going into half-time, and substitute Jese rounded off the win late on with a terrific individual goal to take Los Blancos to the summit of La Liga.
Real Madrid are ahead of Barcelona on goal difference and two points clear of Villarreal, who face Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Neymar scored four goals to help Barcelona overcome an early deficit and defeat Rayo Vallecano 5-2.
Javi Guerra provided the visitors a lead after a quarter-hour, but it only lasted seven minutes as Neymar converted a penalty to draw Barcelona level.
A second Neymar penalty 10 minutes later after he was brought down in the box put Barca ahead for good.
The Brazilian added two more goals to his tally just seconds apart in the second half.
First, he cleaned up Luis Suarez's hard shot by slamming the rebound into the roof of the net. Then inside a minute he had the simplest of finishes on a counter-attack.
Neymar then turned provider in the 77th minute, crossing for Suarez to deliver Barcelona's fifth goal of the night.
Sevilla came from behind to salvage a point at Eibar with a 1-1 draw.
Borja Baston gave in-form Eibar an early lead but the visitors improved in the second half and drew level through Kevin Gameiro's close-range effort on 71 minutes.
The Andalusians remain in mid-table and are still searching for their first away win of the season in all competitions, while Eibar missed out on an opportunity to cement their place in the top six.
