Real Madrid ended the week in 5th position one point and three places ahead above Barcelona who are in 8th position.
That might not have been if it hadn’t been for Gareth Bale pulling off a mighty rescue act by scoring both Real Madrid’s goals to draw the game against Villareal.
He also got sent off at the end of the game thus becoming only the second Real Madrid player this century — after Cristiano Ronaldo did the same against Malaga in 2010 — to score a La Liga double and be sent off in the same match.
Zidane must have had mixed feelings about all these record breaking heroics from Bale
