It's all sunshine and rainbows after Gareth Bale's goal scoring comeback for Real Madrid...but that doesn't apply if you are Neymar.
The Welsh ace returned to the pitch almost three months after his last performance for Los Blancos, and he needed just 13 minutes to make his presence felt by scoring an impressive counter attack for Zidane's men.
These numbers might show you why he is such a relevant player for Zidane's crew.

But as fans celebrated his return, a name kept popping up on social media: Neymar. The Brazilian ace hasn't been quite himself this season, and fans reminded him what a poor goalscoring season he's having by comparing Bale's stats to his own numbers.
Gareth Bale scores after being out for nearly 3 months! Despite this he's scored the same amount of goals (6) in the #LaLiga as Neymar .

"In 20 minutes, Bale has scored the same amount of goals Neymar has in three months, even after 88 days injured. And rest easy, he won't go out and party because of it."
Bale en 20 minutos ha metido los mismos goles que Neymar en 3 meses tras estar 88 días lesionado. Y tranquilo, que no se va a ir de fiesta.

Moments after the game ended, the man himself thanked the team's fans via Twitter.
