Which Nigerian player do you expect to shine at the Russian Federation 2018 World Cup? "We know we controlled the game well, we won, got the points, but we must think now that Tuesday will be totally different".

They would have been deserving winners here and, in truth, could have been out of sight had Muriel and Vazquez finished any number of risky breaks in the second half.

But the Las Palmas shot-stopper could do nothing moments later as Bale latched onto an inch-perfect Luka Modric pass from deep before racing through the opposition defence and blasting his emphatic finish across La Union Deportiva's custodian to give Real Madrid the lead.

Bale's double in Gran Canaria served as a timely reminder to coach Zinedine Zidane, with the trip to Turin for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals to come on Tuesday.

Gareth Bale scored twice as Real Madrid prepared for their upcoming Champions League game at Juventus with a comfortable victory at Las Palmas.

"Nacho's injury isn't good, he's very uncomfortable", he confirmed. "He is not happy".

After opening the scoring, Los Blancos continued to assert their dominance in possession, and added to the scoresheet seven minutes before the break as Benzema - who was making his 400th appearance for Los Vikingos - doubled Madrid's advantage from the penalty spot after Jonathan Calleri, somewhat mindlessly, bundled over Lucas Vasquez inside the area and left referee Gonzalez Fuertes no other choice but to award the spot kick.

However, the 23-year-old is said to have been told by Perez that his place in the Madrid team is assured going forward and has let other clubs know that the player is not for sale.

Gareth Bale, who represented Wales twice in China during the worldwide break, is set to feature as Zidane added: "He's ready to play".
