Real Madrid’s Rodrygo struck twice and Jude Bellingham was also on target as the visitors enjoyed a 3-0 win at lowly Cádiz in La Liga on Sunday to move provisionally top of the standings.
Real went ahead after 14 minutes when Rodrygo cut into the area and fired a superb shot into the top-right corner. The Brazilian got his second in the 64th with another fine shot after finding space in the box before Bellingham sealed the win 10 minutes later with his 11th league goal this season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are now on 35 points, one clear of second-placed Girona, who host Athletic Bilbao on Monday.
Atlético Madrid are third, having also played a game less than Real, level on 31 points with Barcelona, who slipped to fourth after a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

Paulo Dybala scored one goal and set up another as Roma won 3-1 win at home against Udinese in Serie A.
Nine minutes before the end, the Argentine put Roma back in front when received a pass from Romelu Lukaku and slotted it in from inside the area. Roma had opened the scoring after 20 minutes when Gianluca Mancini headed home Dybala’s free-kick, but Udinese equalised just before the hour mark with a headed goal of their own through Florian Thauvin.
Stephan El Shaarawy sealed the win for Roma in the 90th minute with a well-placed shot from a tight angle inside the box.
Roma move to fifth in the table with 21 points, three points behind Napoli in fourth. Udinese are 16th.
