Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema scored in a 15th consecutive Champions League campaign and 18-year-old Rodrygo netted a hat-trick as they beat Galatasaray.
Benzema, 31, became only the second player – after Barcelona’s Lionel Messi – to achieve the feat when he turned in from Rodrygo on the verge of half-time.
That put Real 4-0 up after Rodrygo’s early brace and Sergio Ramos’ penalty.
The youngster completed his treble late on after Benzema’s second, as Real claimed a second straight Group A win.
The Turkish visitors’ defeat ensured they will exit the competition in the group stage, while the Spanish side are second in the group, two points away from qualification.
