Gareth Bale was absent in both matches against Celta. And he has been sidelined with an ankle injury since late November. Initially, Zinedine Zidane’s side coped wonderfully well without Gareth Bale as they remained unbeaten till earlier this month – 40 games in total in all competitions.
But the injuries are piling up all over the pitch and in the attack, Cristiano Ronaldo has been some way short of his best form in recent weeks. As Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo need Bale back in the team to strengthen their team. Against Celta de Vigo, there was nobody to drag away defenders and create spaces with good pace.

Cristiano Ronaldo register 19 goals in the current campaign. And his record with or without Gareth Bale in the team is somewhat similar.
However, the Welsh winger chipped in with key strikes earlier in the campaign as the Portuguese was suffering from his fitness issues.
And it is no coincidence that Cristiano Ronaldo’s finest display of the season – and also Real Madrid’s – was with the two in tandem in the 3-0 win away to Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid may be in a solid position in La Liga. And they will be expected to reach to the last eight of the Champions League as well. But in order to win the major trophies this term, they need the prime form of Cristiano Ronaldo. And also a firing Gareth Bale back in the squad.
