Thanks for joining us for the Cristiano Ronaldo derby. 

Real Madrid are four points clear at the top of La Liga. Atletico, nine points behind their rivals, might be out of the title mix.

Check out the report here.

John McEnerney: Atletico Madrid loss doesn't end their title hopes as we saw earlier the big 2 will drop points 2 weaker sides! Ain't over till it's over!  

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored seven away goals at Vicente Calderon in La Liga. However he is not even the most prolific Ronaldo in that stat.

The Brazilian Ronaldo scored nine - the only player to have a higher tally than Portugual's one.

Most direct free-kick goals in La Liga since 2009-10: Cristiano Ronaldo - 20 from 291; Lionel Messi 16/209; Benat 9/79

8 - Ronaldo has scored eight penalties against Atletico, more than against any other side.

That was his 39th hat-trick for Real Madrid. THIRTY. NINE. HAT. TRICKS.

It's all over. The Cristiano Ronaldo derby comes to an end.

Atletico Madrid's fans are still singing and making loads of noise despite this derby rout. 

Two minutes of agony added on for Atletico - two minutes of ecstasy for Real.

It should probably be 4-0 to Real as Luka Modric heads over Dani Carvajal's cross from about seven yards out. A day to forget for Atletico.

Yannick Carrasco forces a diving save from Keylor Navas. It would only be a consolation now though if Atleti scored.

Real make their final change - young midfielder Marco Asensio, who has scored for Real in four competitions this season, replaces Lucas Vazquez.

Hat-trick ehre Cristiano Ronaldo comes off with the job well done. If this was at the Bernabeu, he would have received a standing ovation. But he comes off to jeers and whistles at the Vicente Calderon. James Rodriguez comes on.

Look at the scoreline! Just look at it! There's not too much happening on the pitch at this moment. Atletico are shell shocked.

Real Madrid are so confident now, they can bring on an extra striker. Karim Benzema, returning from injury, replaces Isco.

Even the great Diego Simeone can't turn this one around.

Real Madrid are keeping the ball well now. Atletico are getting frustrated. Juanfran catches Gareth Bale in the face, but escapes a booking, and Diego Godin was shown a yellow a few minutes ago for appealing against the penalty award.

Almost an instant response from Atletico but Yannick Carrasco's 20-yard shot is held by Keylor Navas.

They need a goal quickly.

This would see Atletico Madrid (not even in the Champions League places) sit nine points off leaders Real. Would they be out of the title race?
