Although it would take something quite severe to keep Cristiano Ronaldo out of Real Madrid's Champions League final tie with Liverpool, an ankle injury sustained against Barcelona may hamper his effectiveness on the night.
Luckily for Zinedine Zidane and his side, it would appear another of his many superstars has slipped right back into form at the right time.
With La Liga working through its penultimate round of games this weekend, Gareth Bale was instrumental as Madrid hammered mid-table Celta Vigo 6-0.
Opening the scoring after 13 minutes of play, the Welsh international was exceptionally quick and composed in this well-worked goal.
The second of his two goals on the night was arguably even a greater example of his speed and composure.
Making it onto the end of a lofted pass forward, the former Spurs man looked a man rejuvenated with this finish.
