Real Madrid got off to winning start in La Liga with a 3-0 victory at Real Sociedad on Sunday.
A Gareth Bale brace and another goal from Marco Asensio paced the Champions League holders and handed Zinedine Zidane’s men a perfect beginning to the new campaign.
Bale put Real in the net just two minutes in with a well-placed header from an inch-perfect Dani Carvajal cross on the right wing.
Rising star Asensio then doubled Los Blancos‘ lead five minutes from the break with a cool chip over a helpless Geronimo Rulli after being played in behind the Sociedad defense by Raphael Varane.
Bale then capped the scoring seconds before the final whistle, picking up the ball near midfield, rounding Rulli and slotting into an empty net with his left foot.
