Gareth Bale helped Real Madrid on their way to three points as Zinedine Zidane’s side survived a Luka Modric red card to beat Celta Vigo 3-1 in their LaLiga opener at Balaidos on Saturday (Aug 17).
Zinedine Zidane indicated Gareth Bale will stay at Real Madrid after the Welshman led the way in a 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday (Aug 17).
Bale was back in the team and back in form at Balaidos, with Zidane's eagerness to sell him this summer perhaps fresh in his mind as he teed up Karim Benzema's opening goal.
After the match, Zidane said he believes Bale will now stay, with the Spanish transfer window closing on Sep 2.
‘We have spoken about it two or three times before, that he is going stay,’ Zidane said. ‘All the players we have now we are thinking will be here for the season.’
Celta saw a potential equaliser chalked off before half-time and Luka Modric was sent off 11 minutes after, only for a stunning 30-yard shot from Toni Kroos to put Madrid back in control.
