Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was delighted with two-goal Gareth Bale after victory at Real Sociedad.

Real were comfortable 3-0 victors away to Real Sociedad.

Zidane said, “I am happy for him. He still has some catching up to do physically but that didn't show today. We started in the best way possible, scoring a goal quickly, which made things easy for us. It is a tough ground to come to and if you don't take your chances things can get complicated.

"We scored three without conceding. I don't like to speak specifically about one player but when Gareth scores twice… It is an important year for him and he has shown that."
