Barcelona: Cristiano Ronaldo scored a long-range goal worthy of the recently awarded Ballon d'Or on Saturday to spark Real Madrid's 5-0 rout at Real Betis, provisionally lifting it level with the co-leaders of the Spanish league.
Ronaldo netted one of his signature free kicks in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday to celebrate being named the world player of the year in 2013, and he topped that with a 25-meter blast taken on the run in the 10th minute in Seville.
Gareth Bale followed Ronaldo's rocket with a delicately placed free kick in the 25th for his first goal since Nov. 30. Karim Benzema, Angel Di Maria and Alvaro Morata also scored before the demolition was over.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid can both regain their advantage over Madrid when they play matches on Sunday.
