The Welshman has been out since November with ankle ligament damage and is now working hard to get match-fit
Real Madrid were boosted by the news that Welsh wizard Gareth Bale is back in training following a long injury lay-off.
The 27-year-old suffered ankle ligament damage in the Champions League back in November and was forced to go under the knife as part of his recovery.
Zinedine Zidane doesn't expect his forward to be fit for another three weeks, but Bale has wasted no time showing Los Blancos what they have been missing since making his long-awaited return.
In his first training session since his injury he looked incredibly sharped and got himself on the score sheet more than once while battling to get himself back to full fitness.

While in the above Adidas Football video he took it a step further.
In the clip, the Welshman is joined by Sean Garnier and S3 Freestyle, who accept a challenge from the Real Madrid forward.
They agree to do kick-ups from Cardiff - where the Champions League final will be held at the Millennium Stadium - to the Ciudad training facilities in the Spanish capital.
And will 'take Bale's place in the Madrid team' should they pass the test.
The clip is pretty impressive for the most part as French freestyler Garnier takes the strain and keeps the ball off the ground while travelling abroad.

But his little mistake at the end sees him having to prove his worth in other, more creative ways when he finally arrives in Madrid.
Garnier performs a number of tricks, hoping to catch Bale's eye, as the Welshman steps up his training at the gym.
However, Bale is seemingly unimpressed and confident of keeping hold of his place in the first team, especially now that he has returned from injury.
