Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 3.15pm.

That was much better from Real Madrid. They were given a scare in the first half when Deportivo La Coruna took an early lead, but the Spanish and European champions showed their character, and their quality, to fight back and pull off a real statement result. Is this the catalyst for better times?

FULL TIME: Real Madrid 7-1 Deportivo La Coruna

That was peculiar. Kroos had the ball at his feet and was about to cross it, when another ball was thrown from the crowd. Kroos took it in his arms, while he still had the game ball at his feet, and threw it off the field.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.

This has been a statement performance and result for Real Madrid. This is the sort of response Zidane would have wanted from his side. They have shown what they can stil do.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 7 (88 mins - Nacho Fernandez) Deportivo La Coruna 1. And now Nacho has scored his second of the game! The defender was up from the back, controlled a cross and swivelled to fire a low drive past the goalkeeper. He's got himself a brace!

LOTS OF BLOOD! Ronaldo has taken a blow to the face after that goal. He took a boot in head and blood is gushing. The Portuguese forward is going to have to receive treatment here.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 6 (84 mins - Cristiano Ronaldo) Deportivo La Coruna 1. Ronaldo has well and truly broken his scoring duck now! The Portuguese forward threw himself at the cross from Vazquez and powered a diving header into the bottom corner of the net.

Bale has been the man of the match today. He comes off to replaced by Vazquez. Fantastic performance.

RONALDO GOAL IS CHALKED OFF! Bale once again gets the better of his markers, firing a low cross into the box. Ronaldo finishes it, but the flag is up for offside. Correct decision.

Another change for the away side and Gil comes on for a late cameo appearance.

There was no celebration from Ronaldo as he struck that goal. He recognises that there isn't much to celebrate in terms of his own personal performance. He could have had two or three.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 5 (78 mins - Cristiano Ronaldo) Deportivo La Coruna 1. Ronaldo has finally found the back of the net! Casemiro finds the Portuguese forward completely unmarked at the back post and he makes no mistake in firing high into the roof of the net.

It's obvious that Real Madrid are trying to get Ronaldo into goalscoring positions. This time, Bale tries to thread through his teammate, but the ball was cut out before it could reach him.

Modric comes off and is replaced by Kovacic for the final 15 minutes.

This has been quite the performance from Real Madrid in the second half. They have converted their possession into goalscoring opportunities. That will greatly please Zidane.
