Gareth Bale towers on The National Sport front page on Sunday, May 1, 2016 after his ninth headed goal of the season ensured Real Madrid kept pace in the Primera Liga title race.
Bale's goal ensured a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad to move Madrid top of the Primera Liga table, at least for a few hours.
City rivals Atletico Madrid then assumed top spot after their 1-0 win, courtesy of substitute Antoine Griezmann's finish, before Barcelona then took back their place as leaders with a 2-0 win over 10-man Real Betis.
Barca lead the league level on points with Atletico, but with a superior head-to-head record, while Real Madrid trail by a point with two matches to play.
