Madrid: No Cristiano Ronaldo? No problem. Real Madrid's title ambitions continue to gain credence, with the Spanish giants showing no dip despite missing the Ballon d'Or winner.
Ronaldo is banned for one more league game and cannot return before next week's Champions League game at Schalke.
No matter, as Madrid stretched its unbeaten run to 25 games in all competitions with a 3-0 victory at Getafe on Sunday.
With - and without - Ronaldo, Madrid under coach Carlo Ancelotti has looked the more consistent, well-balanced team, with co-Spanish leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid enjoying erratic runs of late.
Gareth Bale has excelled when not nagged by injuries, while players like Luka Modric and Jese Rodriguez have been standouts.
Back Dani Carvajal says "the key is the team is unified."
