Gareth Bale has risked feeling the heat from Real Madrid after being late out for the second half of their 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo.
The Welsh superstar, who recently fired his country to a World Cup qualification play-off final with a talismanic performance, was left on the bench for Los Blancos' first La Liga game following the international break.
Alongside Madrid teammate Mariano Diaz, Bale emerged late from the dressing room at the start of the second half, forcing them to trudge down the touchline as play resumed until they made it to the away dugout at the Abanca-Balaidos.
