As if not to be undone, rivals Real Madrid responded 24 hours later with an equally impressive display as Zinedine Zidane's side cruised to a 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad at the Anoeta.

Scoring Los Blancos' second goal in San Sebastian was young Spain international Marco Asensio - making his first league start for the Champions League holders - and what a lovely strike it was by the attacking midfielder.
