Real Madrid play host to Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday evening looking to avenge their Copa del Rey defeat earlier this week.
Santiago Solari's side had been well placed ahead of the second leg of their semi-final tie at the Bernabeu, but Barcelona produced one of their performances of the season to run out 3-0 victors.
Real head into this weekend's game in Madrid sitting nine points adrift of their fierce rivals in the La Liga table.
Ahead of the meeting, Sports Mole assesses how Gareth Bale has fared in his previous outings against the Catalan giants.
Bale has played against Barcelona on 13 occasions, but the Wales international has helped Real to just three wins and two draws.
The 29-year-old possesses a dismal record in La Liga, with just one goal and one assist coming from 644 minutes on the pitch.
Bale has never provided either of those in a match against Barcelona at the Bernabeu, with the forward's proudest moment coming in the final of the Copa del Rey in 2014.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man ran half the length of the pitch before netting the decisive goal in a 2-1 triumph at the Mestalla.
