Wow, Real Madrid managed to win big with a score of 6-0 and what is even more surprising is that Benzema was able to score a hat-trick in the first half even in less than 10 minutes. As an old or senior player getting an achievement like this is of course still a good achievement, and it doesn't matter even if the opponent he faces is only a team that is in the lower zone.

So indeed, Real Madrid is in fact still in good performance this season. But yes, Real Madrid is only unable to compete with Barcelona which can indeed be more consistent in La Liga, so even though there is still a chance, it will still be difficult for Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona.
