Real Madrid kept pace with Barcelona atop La Liga with a 4-0 win at Granada, as Crisitano Ronaldo rested. Playing some reserves ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid, Real scored all four goals in the first half before taking its foot off the gas and cruising to three more points.
James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata each scored twice, with the Colombian getting the opener just minutes into the match:

With the win, Real moves to 84 points in the standings, same as Real, with the rival in first on head-to-head. But Real has one less match played on the year and still controls its fate when it comes to the league crown.
