Newly crowned La Liga champion Real Madrid put six goals past Levante to seal the side's relegation from the Spanish top tier Thursday.
Real's upcoming star Vinicius Junior scored a hat trick in the match, which was a must-win for the bottom club Levante to keep alive their dwindling chances of survival.
However, against a rampant Real, that hope was quickly snuffed out.
Real, who will face Liverpool in the Champions League final later this month, went ahead through Ferland Mendy before goals from Karim Benzema and Rodrygo made it 3-0.
Vinicius opened his account just before the interval before adding two more in the second half to condemn Levante to the drop as it suffered its 19th defeat of the season.
Mendy opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a fast counterattack started by Luka Modric before Benzema extended the lead six minutes later after heading in a Vinicius cross.
It was Benzema's 44th goal in all competitions this season as he leveled Raul Gonzalez for second place on Real Madrid’s all-time goalscoring list with 323 goals.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead of him with 451 goals.
The Frenchman is having a career year as La Liga's top goalscorer with 27 goals. He is followed by Celta Vigo’s Iago Aspas with 17 and Getafe's 25-year-old Turkish striker Enes Ünal with 15 goals in 35 La Liga matches.
Rodrygo scored the third with a close-range strike after being provided with a fine assist from Modric, who also turned provider for Vinicius's first goal.
Vinicius latched onto a Benzema cross in the 68th minute before the Brazilian sealed Real's win with a close-range strike seven minutes from time.
Real Madrid could have scored more as Federico Valverde sent two bullet strikes off the bar.
"We have arrived well to this moment, our self-esteem has grown a lot and the team is enjoying their play," coach Carlo Ancelotti told a news conference.
"We will have a challenge now to stay focused and keep the same intensity in this time between winning La Liga early and playing Liverpool in the Champions League final.
"The team gave very good signs today, played with rhythm and intensity. It's what we wanted, high intensity."
