Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga with a comfortable 2-0 victory over struggling Granada.
Los Blancos started the day in first place but dropped to second for a matter of hours after Girona’s earlier 2-1 win over Valencia.
Germany midfielder Toni Kroos provided an excellent pass to set up Brahim Diaz for the opener on 26 minutes.
The win was secured after 57 minutes when Rodrygo powered home the rebound after Jude Bellingham’s shot was saved.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side have now won five consecutive games in all competitions and are unbeaten at the Bernabeu this season, despite missing a host of players, including Vinicius Jr, Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga, through injury.
Granada remain 19th with only one win from their opening 15 league matches.
