Real Madrid were at their stunning best, as they defeated Valladolid 6-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Karim Benzema was the star of the show in the 6-0 drubbing of Valladolid. And the veteran striker did his job on time before being subbed off for Eden Hazard after 65 minutes.

After 22 minutes of play, Marco Asensio led a fine counterattacking move, which was finished off by Rodrygo for Madrid’s opener.

Karim Benzema would then score a hat-trick within 7 minutes to wrap up the first-half in stunning fashion.

Karim Benzema emulated former teammate  Cristiano Ronaldo, as his seven-minute hat-trick set Real Madrid on their way to a 6-0 win over Real Valladolid.

The French striker is second behind Ronaldo in Los Blancos’ all-time goalscoring charts.

Benzema’s hat-trick means the Frenchman is now level with Ronaldo for goals scored under Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti at the club. The pair have both scored 112 times under the Italian’s guidance.
