Cristiano Ronaldo's first-half hat-trick kept Real Madrid on a par with Getafe before he and the Bernabeu home team went on to steamroller the visitors for a 7-3 victory.
Ronaldo put Real Madrid ahead 1-0 at minute 13, but after that practically every Getafe shot at goal eluded Casillas for a score - one from outside the area by Sergio Escudero to tie it up 1-1 at minute 26, then another by Diego Castro at minute 26 to put Getafe ahead 1-2, only to be tied again 2-2 by Ronaldo at minute 34, who then put Real Madrid in front once more 3-2 at minute 35 with a penalty kick, while Lacen tied it up for Getafe at half-time 3-3.
After such an amazingly even first half came the hammering - four straight Real Madrid goals after the break by Chicharito, James Rodriguez, Jese and Marcelo - and none for Getafe.
Despite the one-sided win and the fact that Ronaldo's big three brought his all-season total to 61 goals, an all-time career best for the Portuguese striker, the season itself isn't turning out that well for Real Madrid, which will end up without a trophy, or, of course, for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
At a time when Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and the board of directors seem ready to drop Ancelotti, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo on social networks of the two of them together in the locker room with the message "Great coach and better person. We hope to work with him next season."
But despite being only one of two managers to win the European Cup three times and having another year to run on his three-year contract, the former AC Milan and Chelsea manager will soon be talking to the bosses about his future, if any, with Real Madrid.
