Real Madrid romped to a 4-1 win at tiny Eibar Saturday, provisionally returning to the top of La Liga, despite the absence of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo for Zinedine Zidane's side. Karim Benzema was the focal point in Real's attack without the suspended Bale and injured Ronaldo and fired the visiting side ahead in the 14th minute, following up his own shot on the rebound, before stretching their advantage in the 25th. James Rodriguez had provided the cross for Benzema's second goal and the Frenchman returned the favor for his Colombian teammate to net his first league goal since September in the 29th minute. Marco Asensio hit the fourth on the hour mark with a rebound after James had struck the post. Ruben Pena bundled in a consolation goal for Eibar in the 72nd minute but Real still recorded their biggest win since beating Real Sociedad 3-0 in January. The win will lift Real's confidence having dropped five points in its previous three games. Victory sends it top of the standings on 59 points although Barcelona, on 57, can return to the summit when it hosts Celta Vigo later Saturday. Napoli beats Roma Napoli got back on track by beating nearest rival Roma 2-1, leaving Serie A leader Juventus with the biggest smile Saturday. Napoli remained third but closed the gap to second-placed Roma to two points. Juventus can stretch its advantage to 10 points with a win at struggling Udinese Sunday. Bayern goes seven clear Franck Ribery came off the bench to seal Bayern Munich's 3-0 win at Cologne Saturday, extending their Bundesliga lead to seven points. Bayern warmed up for Tuesday's Champions League last 16 second leg at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium — holding a 5-1 first-leg lead — with its fourth big win in five games. Spain internationals Javi Martinez and Juan Bernat gave Bayern a comfortable two-goal lead before Ribery netted a late third on 90 minutes. The result allowed Bayern to extend their lead over second-placed RB Leipzig, who drew 2-2 at Augsburg Friday. Martinez headed home Arturo Vidal's cross after Bayern worked a short-corner routine on 25 minutes. Bayern doubled its lead just after the break when Thomas Mueller spotted Bernat unmarked to shoot home with the help of a deflection on 48 minutes. Bernat then turned provider just before the final whistle when his cross was driven home by Ribery. Elsewhere, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted twice as Borussia Dortmund warmed-up for Wednesday's Champions League last 16 return leg at home to Benfica with a 6-2 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park. Fourth-placed Hoffenheim enjoyed a 5-2 thrashing of second-from-bottom Ingolstadt as Hungary striker Adam Szalai netted twice. Bottom side Darmstadt lost 2-0 at Werder Bremen with Germany striker Max Kruse also scoring twice in the second-half. Wolfsburg's new head coach Andries Jonker, with Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg as his assistant, picked up a point on debut with a 1-1 draw at Mainz. — Agencies
