The only defeat suffered without Bale came at the end of the 2013/14 season, when a weakened side featuring the likes of Casemiro and Alvaro Morata lost 2-0 to Celta Vigo.
In contrast, last season's La Liga reverses against Atletico Madrid (twice), Valencia, Barcelona, Athletic Club and Real Sociedad all featured Bale.
The former Tottenham man started all six, even scoring away at the Anoeta as Real Sociedad came from 2-0 down to beat Carlo Ancelotti's team 4-2.
It brings back memories of Bale's early days in North London, where he was considered a curse by some after taking more than 20 games to record his first Spurs win.Explore more on these topics:
