James Rodriguez scored a stunning late free-kick in his first appearance under Rafael Benitez as Real Madrid eased to a 3-0 victory over Inter in their first International Champions Cup game in China.
Jese Rodriguez put Real in front at half-time and Raphael Varane added a second goal after the break as the Spanish giants followed up winning the Australia version of the International Champions Cup with an impressive display in Guangzhou.
Colombia forward James, who started his pre-season later after playing in the Copa America, then saved the best for last as he struck with a sublime free-kick against Benitez's former club two minutes from time at the Tianhe Stadium.
Inter responded and Hernanes almost caught Keylor Navas out just before half-time, but the Real keeper just got across to keep out the Brazilian playmaker's well executed free-kick.
It was another substitute, Varane, who increased Real's lead 11 minutes into the second half as he converted a cross from Lucas Vazquez - who also came on at the break - with a clinical finish from six yards out.
James was introduced 12 minutes from time to a warm ovation and was denied by Handanovic with one free-kick before giving the Inter keeper no chance with a thumping long-range strike to round off a fine display from Benitez's men.
