Guti put Real back in the game with a 48th-minute penalty and then set up Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain for the equaliser from a tight angle three minutes later.
New signing Javier Saviola put Real ahead with a penalty on the hour and in the dying minutes Guti made it 4-2 after a 50-metre run and midfielder Balboa added the fifth.
