Real Madrid player ratings vs Granada: Brahim Diaz runs riot! La Liga champions skate to victory despite absence of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior

Real Madrid started their La Liga winner's tour with aplomb, Brahim Diaz providing a delightful double as they battered struggling Granada 4-0. Carlo Ancelotti rotated his side heavily, with the title already sewn up, but still managed to draw an impressive showing out of a glut of reserves and backups as Madrid strolled to a win.

Granada looked the more expansive side early, and forced a neat save out of Thibaut Courtois, who impressed in his second straight La Liga start.

Los Blancos took the lead with their first real opportunity, Diaz cutting back for a darting Fran Garcia, who finished from close range to put his side ahead. Arda Guler doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time, finding the bottom corner off a Garcia pass.

Diaz added a wonderful third in the second half, curling one into the corner after a mazy run - his seventh league goal of the campaign. He bagged the fourth, too, sealing a comfortable win for a Madrid side whose attention is admittedly elsewhere for the time being.
