He had a great game and I'm not just looking at his two assists for the goals. He worked well from the start. "It was difficult to get both goals. We attacked for the whole game but we didn't get the second goal to give us some breathing space [until late on]."We were patient in the game and that is what is important. I like to mix patience with a touch of speed." Madrid have now scored in 42 consecutive matches across all competitions, with Bale's return after three months out with injury meaning Zidane now has his BBC strikeforce - which includes Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo - to call upon once again."I'm happy to have the front three available because we know what they can offer, as well as what the rest can do," said Zidane. "Gareth Bale is a key player and we are all happy, not least the player himself."We must carry on playing like we did in this game to continue our scoring streak.</blockquote>
