Gareth Bale didn't waste any time getting to work Wednesday, lifting Real Madrid to a 1-0 lead on Legia Warsaw with a beautiful strike in the first minute.
0:57 - Gareth Bale's goal tonight is the quickest that Real Madrid have ever scored in the Champions League (57 secs). Rapid.

The record-breaking goal was made possible after Cristiano Ronaldo cleverly flicked the ball into Bale's path before the Welsh star unleashed a screaming volley into the top corner.
