#3 Gareth Bale
Ever since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Welsh talisman Gareth Bale has found the much-needed motivation that has seen him make a strong start to the domestic campaign already.
Bale has nailed his place in the starting XI under new manager Julen Lopetegui and his performances are a testament to that. His rich vein of form continued and the winger showcased that he is ready to handle the responsibilities and carry the team on his shoulders.
Bale contributed an assist and three key passes which was later capped off by a superb goal when he got away from an attempted challenge of Marc Muniesa and slotted the ball in the bottom left corner to make it 3-1 for Real that confirmed that there was no coming back for Girona from that scoreline with less than 20 minutes left on the clock.
Real Madrid's third goal of the night was a milestone for Gareth Bale as it was his 150th career goal in club football and 89th for Los Blancos.
