The Spanish football record champions Real Madrid continue to show no mercy at the top of La Liga.
Without the German international Toni Kroos, Real won 4-1 (2-1) on Sunday at Aufsteiger CD Osasuna, turning a deficit into a draw.
After their fifth league win in a row, the Real, as leaders of the league, have a three-point lead over FC Barcelona. Real’s archrivals won 3-2 at Real Betis on Sunday evening.
Three days after their surprising Cup defeat by Real Sociedad (3-4), Real also fell behind in Pamplona, with Unai Garcia (14th) taking the hosts’ well-earned lead.
