Gareth Bale was not seen in Real Madrid's post-win group picture after El Clasico 2020

Real Madrid outperformed Barcelona in the biggest footballing event of the calendar year - the El Clasico. Vinicius Jr and Mariano Diaz scored a goal each to help Real Madrid win the first El Clasico in Bernabeu since 2014. The win was very crucial for the Los Blancos as the three points helped them reach the top spot of the LaLiga 2019-20 table.

Zinedine Zidane's tactics were right on the money in the second half. On the other hand, Quique Setién's boys were left clueless on the pitch. It was a grand victory and Real Madrid celebrated in style. However, Gareth Bale was missing from the post-match celebrations.
