Real Madrid won 10-2 on Sunday, but before running riot against Rayo Vallecano, incredibly the home supporters at the Bernabeu were booing Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
Rafa Benitez's side went 2-1 behind to the struggling side, which led to the home supporters making clear their views with boos and angry whistles cascading from the stands.
In response, Ronaldo wagged a warning index finger in their direction.
After that, he then played his role in tearing Rayo Vallecano apart, although the visiting team didn't help themselves by having two players sent off inside 30 minutes.
Gareth Bale scored four-goals, Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick, Ronaldo bagged a brace and Danilo added one, but Real missed out on their record victory - which remains an 11-1 thrashing over Barcelona in the 1940s.
Benitez said the way to win over the fans was to score goals and win matches.
"The supporters are unhappy at certain moments in games and what we have to do is change their opinion with victories and goals," he told a news conference.
"We all saw that after the 1-0 we weren't playing well but it was only a brief lapse," he added. "Later we did what we had to do."
