Gareth Bale was delighted with his hat-trick for Real Madrid's rout of Deportivo La Coruna.

It marked a winning start for new coach Zinedine Zidane.

“Everybody knows that Zidane was a great player and I'm sure he'll be the same as a manager. We've only trained a few times but we're professionals and we work hard to try to win games and all of the titles available. We have to carry on the same way, like we were doing before. Nothing has changed and today hasn't been any different," said Bale.

He added: “It's nice to score but the most important thing is the win and helping the team win as much as possible.

“I'm very happy because we got the three points and it was an important win. I had a good game. We now have to continue working hard and I'm sure we will carry on winning games."
