Asked about the midweek jeers and whistles from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu which prompted Zidane to say Bale had more to give, the winger said he would try to ignore them. For me obviously I just have to try to keep my head down and keep working hard, and that's all I can do," Bale told Movistar. Bale's 61st-minute goal helped Madrid to kill the game against dangerous opponents who had been unbeaten this season. "It's always great to score but the most important thing was to get the three points for the team, to get back to winning ways," said Bale. Bale helped Madrid to move up to fourth place, four points behind Barcelona, ahead of a run of league games which on paper look comfortable for the champions until they visit local rivals Atletico Madrid on Nov. 19.
