Bale Scores As Real Madrid Beat Tottenham 2-0

The Welshman netted from 25 yards in the second-half after his team-mate James Rodriguez had given Real the lead before the interval.

It was a very open game as both sides looked to break with speed and cut their opponents out. Real Madrid who were without Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema created some good chances as did Tottenham but in the 37th minute, Real Madrid made the breakthrough as Isco picked out James Rodriguez with a delightful cross and the Colombian headed home from six yards.

Real Madrid now have a final date with one of their biggest footballing rivals, Bayern Munich and the manager Pep Guardiola is also not a loved figure around the Bernabaeu.
