Real Madrid player ratings as Ronaldo double helps see off Celta

Real Madrid took a huge step towards the title with a 4-1 win against Celta Vigo. Here are their player ratings: 

Keylor Navas (7) Made a number of saves, the majority were straight forward but one from Wass in the second half was very good. He also denied the same player in the first half with a good stop from a swerving free-kick. 

Danilo (5) Suffered in defence and didn't add to much in attack. 

Sergio Ramos (5) Looked nervous at times, although still managed to contribute to Iago Aspas' in the second half -- but was lucky not to give a penalty away. 

Varane (5) Not at his best, especially with Celta asking a lot of questions of him. Got away with one handball and made a number of errors, but had protection. 

Marcelo (6) Celta couldn't deal with him in attack and he set up Benzema for the key third goal. Benfitted massively from Aspas' red card, though, as it meant he lost his direct rival and the shackles came off. 

Casemiro (4) A poor display and was taken off to avoid being sent off. Had already been let off the hook when he was eventually booked in the first half and was again given a lifeline when he gave away a free-kick on the edge of the box while already on a caution. Let off by the referee and then taken off by Zidane. 

Kroos (5) Didn't get into the battle and was second best to Celta's players at times. It didn't help that until the final 10 minutes Madrid didn't have control. Did score his side's fourth goal in the 87th minute, disguising a disappointing display. 

Modric (5) Not overly involved in the play. Celta had control in midfield and, unsually, he was eclipsed in the middle. Improved once Celta were reduced to 10 men. 

Isco (8) Madrid's most creative player. Constructed their best chances and was involved in both of Ronaldo's goals. Moved well between the lines and his connection with Ronaldo is good for the team. 

Cristiano (8) Scored two goals which moved Madrid closer to the title. The first was a great finish from outside the area and the second, too, was well taken after an Isco-led counter. Missed a glorious chance for a hat-trick, though. 

Benzema (6) Appeared every now and again, but was key to the move which made it 3-1 after Guidetti had pulled a goal back. Is looking better now than he did at the start of the season, although his goal count is down on what he'd expect this season in the league. 

Substitutes:

Kovacic (5) Came on to stop Casemiro getting sent off. 

Lucas Vázquez (6) Came on for Isco and added a lot, despite not having much time on the pitch, and could have scored. 

Marco Asensio (5) Five minutes wasn't enough to make an impression this time.
