Despite firing blanks in their opening game of the new season against Sporting Gijon, Gareth Bale has promised Real Madrid supporters that they will see plenty of goals this season.

Bale started in a central role in Real’s draw against Gijon. Ronaldo also started the game, but Karim Benzema was not available for the fixture.

We are getting better all the time. We’re learning, training and improving. With each game that passes we are becoming an even stronger unit.

Obviously we are going to be an attacking side. We need to improve at the back, but we’re still working on being an exciting team, one that will be going out to win everything. We’ve only played the first Liga game of the season. We didn’t score, but I’m 100 per cent sure we’ll get plenty of goals
