  • Gareth Bale.

    The Welshman has scored 15 times in 18 league appearances during an injury-disrupted campaign, but his presence has been missed as Madrid have slipped 10 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona ahead of their trip to the Camp Nou on Saturday.

    With just eight games remaining, a first league title looks beyond Bale, but he is hopeful that a win on enemy territory can inspire the confidence needed to propel Madrid to an 11th European Cup.

    “Anything is possible in football. We know were ten points behind we’ll keep fighting until the league is no longer possible,” he said.

    “If we win on Saturday, we are seven points behind. We’ll give it 100% and try to win the game.”

    “Hopefully we can have a great run of form between now and the end of the season and take home some trophies.”
