Gareth Bale was happy to help Real Madrid to victory over Deportivo La Coruna.
Bale hit the crossbar in the 2-0 win.
"The team produced a very positive reaction after the defeat last weekend and we're still top of the table. I'm happy with the game today. I wasn't able to score, but I'm happy.
"Schalke are a top side. We're going to look for a win in Germany to take a good lead into the return leg. We're all really looking forward to playing in the Champions League again."
