Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-0 win over Olympique Marseille in Champions League Group C.
Marseille had effectively contained their hosts until early in the second half when the Portugal winger inspired his side to three goals in six minutes.
Ronaldo raced through to break the deadlock in the 58th minute, and was then brought down for a penalty a minute later, when visiting defender Souleymane Diawara was sent off.
Kaka converted from the spot and Ronaldo slotted away the third from Karim Benzema's pass in the 64th, to leave Real with two wins from two.
Real coach Manuel Pellegrini sent out his big guns from the start with Kaka, Ronaldo and Benzema leading the line, but they saw little of the ball at first with his side struggling to find any rhythm.
Pellegrini looked a concerned figure on the edge of his technical area as the visitors comfortably held Real at bay and they carved the first clear opening when Mamadou Niang forced Iker Casillas to save in a one-on-one after 26 minutes.
Ronaldo raised the home crowd's spirits with a couple of long-range efforts, and then just before the interval, Kaka backheeled a ball through for Benzema who was denied by a smart save from Steve Mandanda.
The game exploded into life early in second half with a classic bit of route-one football. Pepe's long ball out of defence sent Ronaldo scampering clear and he calmly put the ball underneath Mandanda.
With the crowd up a minute later, Ronaldo tore off down the left wing and evaded Gabriel Heinze only to be taken out by the covering Diawara as he cut into the area.
The Marseille defender was sent off and Kaka scored the penalty.
The visitors barely had time to recover when Real sliced them open again. Benzema played a one-two with Kaka on the edge of the area and slipped the ball across the goal for Ronaldo to net at the far post.
Ronaldo was given a standing ovation as he left the pitch in the 70th minute, limping from Diawara's earlier challenge.
Marseille battled on with 10 men and Ezequiel Garay had to boot the ball off Real's line at the end, after Hatem Ben Arfa's cross-cum-shot hit the post, and rolled across the area.
