GARETH BALE FIRST HAT-TRICK WITH REAL MADRID

Been out of town this weekend & have´nt had a chance to do - & will not do this Round 15 - the regular Liga updates or summary. If you wish to know details of all the final scores & goalscorers there is an interesting widget on the right hand side that can help you out

Mentioned all this I did manage to catch a few matches via TV, Atletico de Madrid of course & caught the 4-0 performance & victory of Real Madrid over Real Valladolid. The highlight here was the HAT-TRICK by new star signing Gareth Bale which has caught the front covers of local Spanish Sports papers & many overseas ( especially UK ) big newspapers. 

The habitual "ritual" is to allow the HAT TRICK ( or more ) scorer take the match ball with all the players signatures home. Above is a picture of the ball taken home by the Welshman who was "over the moon" with joy as he should be. The Real Madrid forward is quickly blending in with the team & is successfully contributing. The three Bale goals last night were not "out of this World" but Bale managed to be in the right place all the time to header-knock the ball into the opposition net.

The Spanish media is exaggerating a bit with Bale putting the player up to the levels of the absent Cristiano Ronaldo etc, a bit too excited about the whole matter I think. Still light years to reach the level of Ronaldo although things are definitely positive, be happy about & everyone hopes that the Welshman keeps progressing & improving. After paying more the 91M€ in transfer fee from Tottenham Hotspurs the news of a Hat-Trick by Gareth Bale should not surprise or be great news, it should be expected & on a regular basis.

Here today's front cover of Spanish Sports daily "AS", with the title "Prince of Wales".

SPANISH FOOTBALL | REAL MADRID 4 - GETAFE 0 | ROUND 21 RESULT

Round 21 of the Spanish Football League - La Liga - continued today with a mid-day match between REAL MADRID & GETAFE. A good hour for the family & kids & for the lucrative Asian market in terms of TV broadcasting.

Real Madrid was thinking ahead towards next Wednesday´s Spanish Cup 1º leg semi-final clash against FC Barcelona & left on the bench Xabi Alonso, Khedira ( came on in the second half ) , Arbeloa & Benzema ( also had a run late ).

The game in the first half was tense & full of anxiety from Madrid as Getafe planted themselves well in the midfield to counter the Madrid efforts. This & an excellent Getafe goalie Moya kept things 0 - 0 the first 45 mins.

The second half was a different story all together. Khedira came on to make flow the midfield & Ozil began to churn & create chances. The can opener came in the 53 rd min from a corner which Getafe goalie Moya fumbled & SERGIO RAMOS tapped in the goal. Getafe argued the goal with the referee but it stood.

With a goal up Real Madrid relaxed & began practising their dangerous rapid & clinical precision counter-attacks. The spear-head was CRISTIANO RONALDO who culminated the attacks with goals. The Portuguese scored a HAT- TRICK with goals in the 61st , 64th & 71 st min , the last converting a penalty when Modric was fouled in the penalty area.

With the job done, Coach Mourinho took off Ronaldo to a standing ovation from the "Santiago Bernabeu" crowd & to give the "crack" some rest for the upcoming Spanish Cup semi-final scheduled mid week. 

Rest of the games this afternoon of Round 21 of La Liga.
