( CNN ) -- Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed his sixth hat-trick this season as Real Madrid went 10 points clear of arch-rivals Barcelona in Spain with a 4-2 home win over fourth-placed Levante . Sunday 's victory left Real in the driving seat to win the La Liga title following champions Barca 's 3-2 defeat at Osasuna on Saturday . Portugal star Ronaldo took his league tally to 27 goals this season with another superb display , but Gustavo Cabral gave Levante a surprise early lead in the Bernabeu . Ronaldo , the world 's most expensive player , leveled from the penalty spot following a handball by Vicente Iborra , who was also sent off for his second yellow card . Ronaldo headed home a Gonzalo Higuain cross after 49 minutes and then completed his 13th hat-trick for Real with a thunderous drive that took him past legendary Hungarian forward Ferenc Puskas and into second place behind Alfredo di Stefano 's total of 22 trebles for the club . Brave Levante pulled one back through Arouna Kone 's header , but France forward Karim Benzema sealed three points for Jose Mourinho 's men with a fourth after 65 minutes . Mourinho cautioned against thinking the title is already won despite opening such a big gap over Barca . `` The mathematics tell us that to consider this league won , it 's necessary to get another 39 points , that 's 13 wins , '' he told AFP . Earlier , third-placed Valencia moved eight points clear of the chasing pack with a 4-0 victory over struggling Sporting Gijon , ending a run of five league matches without a win . Sofiane Feghouli opened the scoring in the 34th minute , and his 73rd-minute effort was deflected in for an own-goal by Alberto Botia . Substitute Jonas Goncalves scored twice in injury time as Valencia moved to within eight points of Barcelona , while Gijon remained second from bottom .
