Real Madrid has boosted their La Liga chances following a comfortable 4-0 victory over Almeria at the Bernabeu on Saturday.
Carlo Ancelotti's men are second behind their city rivals Atletico Madrid on the basis of the head-to-head record between the two teams, although they moved above arch rivals Barcelona with five matches remaining.
According to the BBC, Real led through Angel Di Maria's angled drive before Wales forward Gareth Bale doubled their lead with a powerful left-foot effort after the break for his 19th goal of the season.
Isco tucked inside the near post three minutes later before substitute Alvaro Morata guided in a late fourth to lead the side to victory in their sixth win at the league this season without Cristiano Ronaldo, the report added.
