The smile is back! Gareth Bale is 'loving life' at Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti after being given a second chance at the club... with the 'positive' forward having 'changed' since returning from Tottenham

Gareth Bale looks to have re-found his smile at Real Madrid and brushed off his recent woes, having been handed a route back in from the cold by Carlo Ancelotti.

Bale spent last season on loan at Tottenham after being frozen out by Ancelotti's predecessor, Zinedine Zidane, but has returned to the club in optimistic spirits.

Having started Madrid's opening LaLiga fixture against Alaves at the weekend and dazzled, the future appears bright for him again, as highlighted by Marca.
