Many have criticised Gareth Bale for being transferred to
Real Madrid (with a record breaking transfer of €100 million) and then playing a
disappointing match against Barcelona. However on the 30th of
October when Real played Sevilla, Bale scored two goals adding to the final
score of Real’s win of 7-3.
Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti was delighted with the £85
million player’s performance telling the BBC "Everyone saw the real
Gareth. He showed fantastic skills." Not only did Gareth score two goals,
but he also played for a full 90 minutes. He was unable to in other games due
to foot and thigh injuries have prevented him playing a full game.
Bale’s performance last weekend was disappointing and
therefore Bale suffered lots and lots of criticism from Madrid’s press and
other places all over the world, with fans feeling as though their club had
made the wrong decision. Therefore it was very important that this game showed
perfect performance from Bale and that is just what he did.
Real Madrid fan Taylor said “In the game against Barcelona
last weekend I was expecting Bale to play a good game. However this didn’t
happen and I felt as though Bale was a waste of money, but I knew that my club
wouldn’t do that. So I knew that Bale would play a really good game on
Wednesday and perform and impress me and that’s exactly what he did and I feel
hope again. I know we have a chance of
beating Barcelona in the Primera Division as we are only 6 points behind.”
Bale's goals, a 15-yard strike and deflected free-kick, came in the first 27 minutes, and he also helped to set up other goals. Ronaldo scored a hat-trick while Benzema grabbed Real's other two goals.
The former Tottenham player now promises that his best is yet to come after scoring his first goals for his new club at the Bernabeu.

In quotes reported on realmadrid.com, Bale said:
"I felt good and I completed the whole game.”
"I have to keep improving and working hard to be one hundred per cent as soon as possible.”
"It was a great night and important to my fitness.”
"We played very well and hopefully we will have more games like this in the future.”
"Now I continue to improve and work hard and as soon as possible try to be one hundred per cent."
It was by some way his best performance for the team who are now six points behind the leaders, Barcelona.

Bale added: "It was a great game and a great
atmosphere. We played very well and we got a lot of goals but the important
thing is to have got the three points and we have scored many goals which is
very positive for us.”
"The downside has been that we have received several goals, but we were good, it gives us confidence.”
"We have a lot of confidence and hopefully we can keep winning and producing performances like tonight."
Real Madrid are now six points behind leaders Barcelona after the win and two from second-placed Atletico Madrid.
