BBC Blackout: The stats prove Real can no longer rely on Bale, Benzema & Ronaldo

The three forwards are yet to start a game all together for Los Blancos in the current campaign and the Welshman will be missing again on Saturday 

 

Few can deny that Real Madrid are a better team when Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are all fit and firing. Unfortunately for coach Zinedine
Zidane, however, that seems to be something of a rare occurrence these days.

Bale returned from injury in some style on Tuesday night as he emerged from the bench to help Los Blancos to a 2-2 draw at home to Fuenlabrada, and with it, passage to the next round of the Copa del Rey.
