The Welsh winger has been the subject of much criticism from Real Madrid fans over the past few weeks but he showed just why Zinedine Zidane insists on playing him whenever he is fit with a wonderful goal in tonight's Champions League clash between Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Carvajal played a looped ball into the box from the centre of the pitch and Bale delicately guided the ball first-time with his left foot into the top corner, leaving Burki rooted to his spot in the Dortmund goal.
