Cristiano Ronaldo scored five goals to become Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer in the Spanish league, while Lionel Messi scored as a substitute to give Barcelona a 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Ronaldo recorded his second career five-goal game to lead Madrid's 6-0 rout at Espanyol, taking his tally to 231 goals in the competition and eclipsing Raul Gonzalez's mark of 228.

In Madrid, Fernando Torres put Atletico ahead in the 51st minute, only for Neymar to equalize from a free kick four minutes later.

Messi was on the bench following the recent birth of his second son. But he went on for the final half hour and immediately changed the match, scoring the 77th-minute winner from Luis Suarez's pass.
