Bale enduring worst league drought of Madrid career
Gareth Bale has failed to score in 10 consecutive LaLiga appearances, his worst run in the competition since signing for Real Madrid in 2013.
Bale drew a blank again at home to Valencia on Sunday (AEDT), with an early Daniel Wass own goal added to by Lucas Vazquez's late strike in Madrid's 2-0 win.
The Wales star was withdrawn by head coach Santiago Solari in the 63rd minute, having failed to make an impact on the Valencia goal.
Bale's last goal in LaLiga was back in August, but he has scored in the UEFA Champions League since then, as well as for Wales in the Nations League.
