La Liga Preview: Real Madrid v Granada

A nine-game goalless run saw Bale draw the ire of Real's supporters, which turned to fury when the Welshman failed to sparkle in their Clasico defeat to Barcelona before the international break.

However, Bale was back to his best for his country on Saturday, scoring twice as Wales secured a mightily impressive 3-0 win in Israel to move top of Euro 2016 qualifying Group B.

Bale spoke after the game of having "nothing to prove" to his detractors, and club president Florentino Perez reiterated just how crucial the former Tottenham man is to their plans in the face of rumours linking the player with a return to the Premier League.

"We shall never listen to any offers for Bale," Perez told Marca. "He is the key to the club's future, just as I cannot imagine a future without Cristiano Ronaldo."

Brazil international Danilo will become the most expensive defender in the club's history when he links up with Real ahead of next season, having signed a six-year deal following a string of impressive outings for Porto.

Granada did shock Real in February 2013, with a stunning 1-0 home win, but the European champions have won the last three meetings between the sides.

Granada's Eddy comes into the contest fresh from making his international debut for Azerbaijan in the recent break, and is hoping to spring another surprise.

"We know that Real Madrid is Real Madrid," the midfielder said.

"We have to go to the death and take what we can from Madrid.

"If a point: fine, if all three: great, but you have to try and get something.

"We must win and that's it."
