Bale collected a through ball from Isco and darted into the box, taking one touch before lashing it in off the far post for the perfect return after almost three months out with injury. "It felt really good to be back after working so hard to recover, especially to come back like this, helping the team with a goal," Bale told Real Madrid's official television channel. "It's been tough to watch from the sidelines but at least the team kept winning. We want to win every trophy and now I'll be able to contribute to hopefully doing that," he added. He was so keen to return and feel like a player again after almost three months away from the pitch."
