Gareth Bale has claimed that Real Madrid "were unlucky" in their 2-2 draw with Las Palmas on Saturday night.

The Madrid giants twice took the lead in Gran Canaria, but were forced to settle for a point when Sergio Araujo scored in the latter stages of the La Liga clash.

Zinedine Zidane's side are still the leaders in Spain's top flight, but Bale has admitted that his team were "disappointed" not to have collected all three points against the Yellows.

"We're disappointed we did not win. We are still unbeaten in the league, but the important thing is to win three points," Bale told reporters. "We were unlucky with the chances we had, but now we play in Dortmund and we have to bounce back. We were unlucky, but that is football."

Real Madrid's next league match is at home to high-flying Eibar next weekend.
