Gareth Bale

Gareth kept it short and sweet as Madrid picked up three points sharing a picture of himself after striking the ball which led to his goal.

My Thoughts

Real Madrid has been full steam ahead in recent weeks and doesn’t seem to be slowing down; which is exactly what is needed. It’s been a difficult season for the club after starting on such a high. Madrid has stepped their game up tenfold and returned to the masterful side from not too long ago.

Zidane’s men are on top of their game and at the perfect moment. With their push for the Champions League still going strong this positive wave of results could not have come at a better time.

This side is displaying cohesion and drive, both of which seem to have been lacking for some time now. The character displayed by players from every area of the pitch shows just how committed and goal oriented this side is and how they are working in a valiant effort to achieve success.

Madrid’s next match will be played this Tuesday against Espanyol on Match day 26. Zidane will keep rotating the squad in positive fashion with some players still recovering from various injuries.

The rotation has given minutes to second string players and they have been proving to Zizou they deserve even more.
