But Real Madrid have missed him while he has been away. Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has certainly missed him. The last time Bale faced Rueda was in a Spanish league game and he scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid thrashed Rueda's then-club Real Valladolid 4-0 in 2013. Real Madrid were full of confidence at the start of the season, thanks to a convincing 5-1 aggregate win in the Spanish Super Cup. They must deal with him if they are to take anything from their meeting with the current Champions of Europe.
