The last game against Girona was no exception, with Bale (86’) and Cristiano Ronaldo (91’) rounding off the madridista victory. The Whites also notched doubles at the start of this run against Deportivo (Cristiano, 84’ and Nacho, 88’) and Valencia (Marcelo, 84’ and Kroos, 89’).
The Portuguese ace's fine run of form has seen him once again prove crucial at the decisive moments. He scored late on against Real Sociedad (80’) and Éibar (84’), where his goal was crucial in taking all three points. Others to have found the back of the net late in the day are Isco (Levante, 81’), Benzema (Betis, 92’ and Alavés, 89’) and Ramos (Leganés, 90’).

In the return leg at the Parque des Princes, Casemiro netted the final goal of the tie in the 80th minute.
