Tau provided the assist for the first goal after just nine minutes, while Dennis added another before half-time. Los Blancos, though, rallied after the break to secure a 2-2 draw.
Dennis has now named his goals against Real, as well as the strike against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League, as his highlights of the season, and explained that he imitated Ronaldo's celebration because of a bet.
"Madrid is a big team, the best in the world, but I was disappointed because I wanted us to win and we drew. I wanted that three points," he told Sky Sports.

"I was happy because I was speaking with friends and they said, 'imagine you play against Real Madrid'. I said I'm going to score and I'm going to do the Ronaldo celebration, and they were like 'what, are you sure?' and I said 'yeah', so we bet.
"I was excited to score and do the celebration, I was very happy that day. But I was happier after a few weeks, I was on my phone and I saw the picture of my celebration and I thought 'you scored in Madrid', the excitement came after a few weeks. It was crazy.
"My brother is a Manchester United fan, a crazy one, he's always angry when they lose. So then I played against them and scored, he said 'OK, I'm proud of you'."
