Los Blancos required a spot of fortune to open the floodgates as Brahim Díaz won a penalty early in the second half from which Joselu comfortably dispatched.
The pair combined just a minute later as Díaz joined the score sheet by powering home after Joselu’s initial blocked attempt broke fortuitously for him inside the area.
Rodrygo swept home a third in added time before the notched a late consolation through Nacho turning Raly Cabral’s shot into his own net as the reigning holders eased into the Round of 16.
