There was no rest for Gareth Bale on Saturday night after his starring role for Real Madrid as they thrashed Real Betis 5-0.
The forward struck inside two minutes at the Bernabeu, before netting again in the 89th minute after a brace from James Rodriguez either side of a Karim Benzema header.
But with the international break looming, Bale was straight off to Wales after the game as he prepared for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers.
