Bale no match for Neymar in battle of big-money buys

Soccer

Gareth Bale was given his chance to shine on the biggest stage of all on Saturday as he made his El Clasico debut for Real Madrid against Barcelona.

However, unfortunately for the Welshman, it was another expensive import who shone, as Neymar scored Barca's opener and then teed up Alexis Sanchez for what proved to be the winner 12 minutes from time.
