  Iker Casillas

  The Madrid custodian could have sat in the stands and watched the match such was the minimal threat carried by Levante. Made one save of note, smothering a powerful Del Horno drive.

  Lassana Diarra

  Started at right-back and put in a powerful performance. Had the Bernabeu on its feet with a superb first touch and pass in the 60th minute.

  Pepe

  Was never tested by Caicedo or replacement Stuani but made a few strong clearances and intelligent interceptions. Played his part in the fifth goal, finding Di Maria with a wonderful raking pass.

  Raúl Albiol Tortajada

  Like his partner was never really tested, but did make an excellent goal line clearance to deny Ruben Suarez a consolation goal.

  Marcelo

  The left-back got up and down the flank to good effect. It was his curled pass that set Benzema away to set up Ronaldo for the fourth goal.

  Xabi Alonso

  Kept the game flowing in the middle of the park and kept the pace of the game high with quick incisive passes to team-mates.

  Esteban Granero

  Earned a round of applause from Jose Mourinho when he was replaced in the second half - and it was much deserved as he showed flashes of skill and sublime touch on several occasions.

  Ángel Di María

  A superb showing from the Argentinian. Seemed to pop up everywhere along the frontline in the first half and set up the third, fifth - with a sumptuous flick - and sixth goals.

  Mesut Özil

  Scored the second goal when he latched on to Ronaldo's pass and skipped round past the goalkeeper and rolled the ball into an empty net. Showed flashes of genius but was not as prominent as some others.

•

  Cristiano Ronaldo

  Set up Oezil's goal and scored a tap-in in the first half, then added two more superb goals in the second 45 to complete his hat-trick.

  Karim Benzema Top of the Match

Levante UD

  1.50

  Gustavo Adolfo Munúa

  Conceded eight goals and although his defence did not help him, was badly positioned with for the first goal and he continued to race from his line at every opportunity, which played a part in the second and third goals.

•

  Cerra

  The right-back made a mess of an attempt to intercept Di Maria's pass which led to the third goal and was generally poor throughout.

•

  2.00

  Robusté

  Was a little better than his central defensive partner but that is absolutely no accolade on a night like this. Played his part in a defence which crumbled under the weight of Real's attacks.

  Ballesteros Flop of the Match

  Was all over the place all night. Poor positionally, slow to read danger, terrible in his judgement, all in all a terrible night for the 35-year-old captain who really looked his age.

  Asier Del Horno

  Had his side's only real shot on target but was terribly defensively as Di Maria terrorised him at every opportunity.

  Pallardó

  Was overrun in the midfield and made little impact apart from one header wide.

  Sergio

  The midfield anchor was expected to sit in front of his defence to help them but offered little protection as Real Madrid drifted through the centre at will.

  Xavi Torres

  It was from his slack pass that Benzema kick-started the rout but, the mistake aside, he was probably his side's best player. Almost grabbed a consolation goal with a stunning 35-yard strike which skimmed the crossbar.

  Juan Gómez López

  Played on the left of midfield and tried to make an impact with little success. Let his frustrations show when he was booked for a cynical trip on Lassana Diarra.

  Felipe Caicedo

  The Manchester City loanee made a bright start in which he won a free-kick on the edge of the area with a mazy dribble. But he was injured in the incident and had to be replaced at half-time.

  Took Caicedo's place at the break but offered less of a threat than the man he replaced.
