Real Madrid moved one point behind La Liga leaders Barcelona with a 9-1 win over Granada on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored five times at the Bernabeu, while Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale were also among the goals as Los Blancos ran riot against the 19th-placed visitors.

Robert Ibanez had one back for Granada late on, but that was not the end of the scoring as an own goal from Diego Mainz made it 8-1 to Real Madrid, before Ronaldo registered once again in the 89th minute.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at how each individual player performed in Madrid.

REAL MADRID

Goal

Iker Casillas: Was a spectator for long spells of the match, but did make a couple of smart saves and was strong from crosses. Will have been disappointed not to have kept a clean sheet. (6/10)

Defence

Alvaro Arbeloa: Always willing to break forward, but the right-back's delivery was not always the best, while he picked up a late yellow card for a poor challenge on Ibanez. (6/10)

Sergio Ramos: Strong performance from the centre-back, who controlled matters in his area of the field. Real Madrid will be delighted to have the Spaniard back fit and available. (7/10)

Raphael Varane: Used his pace to escape a number of dangerous positions, while the Frenchman came close to scoring himself with a couple of headers in the first period. (7/10)

Marcelo: An absolute menace to Granada in wide areas. The Brazilian almost played as a left-winger as he caused the visitors havoc in the final third of the field. (8/10)

Midfield

Toni Kroos: Nice and tidy from the German international, who kept things ticking over in the middle of the park. Not always noticed, but performed an important role. (7/10)

Luka Modric: Demonstrated his importance to the team with a wonderful midfield performance. Played one-touch passing on many occasions and Granada just could not deal with him. (8/10)

James Rodriguez: Capped his return from a broken foot with two assists during an impressive performance. Took up a number of dangerous positions and Granada could not cope. (8/10)

Attack

Gareth Bale: Eased some of the pressure on his shoulders with a goal and two assists at the Bernabeu. Looked back to his very best in front of a vocal Bernabeu crowd. (9/10)

Karim Benzema: Had to watch both Bale and Ronaldo register in the first period, but got in on the act with two goals early in the second before departing after 61 minutes. (8/10)

Cristiano Ronaldo: Hit five goals during a stunning performance. Granada just could not deal with the attacker, who could have had nine himself during a five-star performance. (9/10)

Substitutes

Asier Illarramendi: Still looks certain to be leaving the club in the summer, but was given the final 37 minutes here and had a steady afternoon. (6/10)

Jese Rodriguez: Set up his side's eighth of the match as his low cross was diverted home by Mainz. Will hope to be given some starts in the final months of the season. (7/10)

Javier Hernandez: Had an excellent chance to register late in the match, but saw his close-range header saved by the Granada goalkeeper. Worked extremely hard as always. (6/10)

GRANADA

Goal

Oier Olazabal: Had an absolute stinker. Real Madrid only had 11 attempts on target, but scored nine times. Will be very disappointed with his own performance at the Bernabeu. (3/10)

Defence

Dimitri Foulquier: Did his best to break forward when given the opportunity, but the Frenchman's delivery was poor and he left all sorts of space at the other end. (4/10)

Diego Mainz: Culpable for Real Madrid's first and scored an own goal during a poor performance. Will want to move on from this match as soon as possible. (3/10)

Jean-Sylvain Babin: Has been a key figure for Granada this season, but struggled here and his legs were saved for the final 30 minutes of action. (4/10)

Juan Carlos: Had some decent attacking moments in the first period, but the left-back struggled in the second. Just could not live with Bale in the final third of the field. (4/10)

Midfield

Ruben Rochina: Did his best to create openings in the final third and showed some nice skill during periods of the first half. Was replaced early in the second period. (5/10)

Fran Rico: Was chasing shadows for long periods and it did not come as much of a surprise when the midfielder was replaced moments after Real Madrid scored their seventh. (4/10)

Manuel Iturra: Sat alongside Rico in an attempt to protect the back four, but Real absolutely dominated the middle of the park. Really struggled. (4/10)

Daniel Candeias: Tested Casillas with a couple of efforts from distance, but never really threatened to find the back of the net. One of his side's better performers on the day. (5/10)

Robert Ibanez: Quite comfortably his team's best player on the day. Came close with a smart effort early on, and got his goal late on when he showed excellent pace and a calm head. (7/10)

Attack

Youssef El-Arabi: Worked hard in the final third, but simply did not have enough service due to Real Madrid's dominance of the ball. (5/10)

Substitutes

Piti: Replaced Rochina moments after Granada had conceded a fifth, but, like a number of his teammates, the Spaniard struggled to make his mark in Madrid. (5/10)

Eddy: Brought some pace and invention to the Granada attack in the second period, but the Azerbaijan international could not change the flow of pressure. (5/10)

Jeison Murillo Replaced Babin just past the hour, but Granada were to concede twice more and the defender picked up a booking for a terrible challenge on Bale. (4/10)
