Twitter explodes as Bale and Mayoral help Real Madrid create history

Real Madrid survived a scare as they saw off a tough trip to high-flying Real Sociedad to create history with an away win at Anoeta 3-1.

Here's who scored the goals for both sides: Kevin Gonzalez 29'; Borja Mayoral 19', Kevin Rodriguez OG 36', Gareth Bale 61'

The Bale goal killed off a game that genuinely looked like it could go any which way... twitter as usual couldn't get enough of it:

History is Real Madrid's... can they better the record of the great Pele's amazing Santos side?

Borja Mayoral certainly had a superb game.

Even when he isn't playing the man who Borja replaced still got plenty of flak:

Im so happy whenever Real Madrid plays without Benzema, at least we can watch a beautiful game.

This is just ridiculous:

Someone poison Benzema on his hospital bed

Mayoral is a madness omds hes actually better than Benzema

Benzema needs a decade to do 1% of Mayoral's dribble.

How quickly fans turn against their players -

Asensio has several times ignored Bale and gone for glory himself in this game. Should try this with Ronaldo.

— Managing Madrid (@managingmadrid) September 17, 2017

Asensio is the spanish Coutinho. Shoots 10 long rangers per game and one eventually goes in and goes viral. Fraud.

This is just brutal -

A slightly more balanced view -

Apparently Bale is dropping a disasterclass when: -He's linking up with Theo pretty good-Actually made some good runs only to be ignored

And then just as Bale looked like he was going to get blasted he did what he always does at the Anoeta:

Bale doesn't need Ronaldo to play well. Bale needs our support to play well. Booing doesn't help anyone.

Isco had a mixed game, but some of his passes were magic:

Isco has every pass imagineable in his locker. He's going to be the best playmaker in the world when Messi retires.

— Juan (@fraudiesta1) September 17, 2017

Isco unlocked the original version of Bale

Barca fans, of course, didn't really like what they saw

Real Madrid with an offside goalReal Sociedad should have had a PenaltyCasemiro should have been sent off Sociedad is getting robbed.
