Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Real Madrid v Malmo from the Santiago Bernabeu. It is a 7:45pm kick-off in this one. Madrid are facing a Swedish side who cannot qualify. Madrid are already through in top spot from Group A whatever happens in the match between PSG and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Four goals for Ronaldo, three goals for Benzema and one for Kovacic as Madrid bludgeon the Swedish side. A record-equalling win. Well beaten on the night, but Malmo contributed to their own downfall with some awful defending. In truth, Malmo could have lost by more goals in this match. Real Madrid progress to the group stage as Group A winners. Malmo tumble out of Europe without the consolation of Europa League football after Christmas.

The whistle sounds, and that is an 8-0 win for Real Madrid. It is all over. Real Madrid are winners of the section.

Not sure there is going to be much time added to this. Looks like the referee might be lenient and allow them to escape without any added time.

Isco goes for a chip from the edge of the box, but straight into the arms of Wiland in the Malmo goal.

Isco showing some lovely vision to set up Cheryshev, but his effort is just a few yards wide of the goal.

Karim Benzema is the first French player with multiple hat-tricks in the Champion League.

Real Madrid fans are heading for the exit doors. Many of them are happy enough with just the eight goals for the night.

Chance for Jese to add another goal for Madrid, but this time Carvalho is in the right place at the right time to make the block.

Cheryshev has taken over for Kovačić for Real Madrid. Wonder if he can get on the scoresheet in this free for all?

Marcelo misses the target. All the Madrid players seem to be lining up here to have a go in this match.

Isco with a drive from distance, but Wiland throws himself at the ball to nudge the effort wide.

Not much that can be said about this from a Malmo point of view. They just want to get out of town.

Real Madrid equal the biggest Champions League win: Liverpool's 8-0 home win over Besiktas on 6 November 2007.

This is simply embarrassing for the Swedish side. Have been utterly ripped to shreds by Madrid. And there is a quarter of an hour to play.

GOAL! Benzema with a hat-trick for Madrid. It is 8-0 now. That matches the Liverpool win over Besiktas. Malmo pay a heavy price for trying to play out from the back. What a mess.

Real Madrid score at least seven goals in European competition for the first time since 24 October 1990, a 9-1 home win against FC Wacker Innsbruck in the Champions Cup.
