The world's two most expensive footballers turned on the style during Los Blancos' 7-3 rout of Sevilla, with the Welshman bagging two goals and two assists, while his Portuguese team-mate hit a clinical hat-trick.
The Santiago Bernabeu faithful were delighted at what they saw, while Ancelotti is encouraged about the relationship the duo are already developing.
He told Marca: "Bale played very well, showing great fitness, scoring two goals and forming a good understanding with Cristiano."The day after Fifa president Sepp Blatter was forced to apologise to Ronaldo and Real Madrid for saying he preferred Lionel Messi, and claiming the Portuguese was like a military commander, the Bernabeu crowd were fully behind their No.7.
After showering their hero with praise in the opening exchanges, and after Bale had already struck twice, Ronaldo had the last laugh. After scoring his first goal from the penalty, he performed his best salute to show that he means business.
