Real Madrid star Gareth Bale was delighted to get on the scoresheet in their 3-1 Champions League win at Borussia Dortmund.

Bale admits the victory was crucial.

"The most important thing was to remain in a strong position in the group by getting the three points, we needed to regain confidence in ourselves," he explained to beIN Sports after the game.

Barcelona hold a seven point advantage over Los Blancos in LaLiga, yet the 28-year-old believes that the winning mentality within the squad will help them to recover from a disappointing beginning to the campaign.

"It is important to win every game, we are not leaders in the league but we have a winning mentality," he continued.

"Wins build confidence and after that performance, we will have more of that."
