VIDEO: Gareth Bale scores obscene goal in a match plentiful with preposterous finishes

But after having already slotting home a clinical header earlier in the one-sided affair, Gareth Bale decided it was his moment to do something astonishing.

Following an opening day scoreless draw with Sporting Gijon, it seems that Los Blancos have found their finishing boots, and to think, they did this without Cristiano Ronaldo figuring in the scoring.
