Match ends, Las Palmas 0, Real Madrid 3.

Gareth Bale scored twice as Real Madrid prepared for their upcoming Champions League game at Juventus with a comfortable victory at Las Palmas.
Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Sergio Ramos were both rested for the game and it was left to Bale to get the job done against their lowly La Liga opponents.
The Wales forward opened the scoring midway through the first half, powering into the area before smashing home.
Karim Benzema then scored from spot before Bale also converted a penalty.
The win moved Real to within a point of second-placed Atletico Madrid, who host struggling Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.
Real travel to Turin on Tuesday for their Champions League quarter-final first leg with Juventus.

And the' ve got a Welsh person who hates all the English & was filmed laughing at them when the got beat by Iceland
---------------------------
"who hates all the English". You come to this conclusion how?
"& was filmed laughing at them when the got beat by Iceland" I'm English and thought it was funny, what's wrong with someone of another nationality thinking so? Pathetic!!
Only three teams in Spain, eh? I guess that explains why team number 6 in Spain put team number 2 in the BPL out of the Champions League :)
There really are only three teams in Spain aren't there?
----
That's two more than England, Germany and France, plus a second team has only made it interesting in Italy this season for the first time in years.
It's increasingly predictable.
"Sorry BBC, where is the story here?"
Had a chuckle at that. This game proved that the BBC combo (Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo) is the best that RM have up front.
You should really get your info right before posting on the blog Athletico won the league in 2014 and very nearly won the Champions league if it wasn't for a last minute equaliser from Real Madrid they really are a good side
I'll forgive him if he comes back to Spurs next season
