Limping Bale steals Ronaldo's thunder

Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez fears Welsh star Gareth Bale could be sidelined indefinitely due to a calf injury.

Bale was forced off after just half an hour of Madrid's 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk to open the Spanish giant's Champions League campaign on Tuesday.

Karim Benzema opened the scoring before Cristiano Ronaldo struck his second hat-trick in as many games to move clear of Lionel Messi as the competition's all-time leading scorer with 80.
