Real Madrid came from 2-1 down at half-time, to defeat Real Betis 5-3 in LaLiga on Sunday.
The champions came into the fixture having thrashed Real Sociedad 5-2 last weekend in the league and recording a 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek.
Marco Asensio handed Madrid the perfect start inside 11 minutes, but Aissa Mandi headed Betis level in the 34th minute.
Junior Firpo then forced Nacho (37) into an unfortunate own goal, to give the home side a surprise lead.
Zinedine Zidane’s men were level six minutes after the break, before Asensio netted his second.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave the visitors a two-goal cushion, before Sergio Leon reduced the deficit with four minutes left.
However, substitute Karim Benzema scored Real’s fifth in injury-time to seal the points for the visitors.
