Trending
On September 1st 2013, Gareth Bale transferred from Tottenham Hotspurs to Real Madrid in a deal that made him the world’s most expensive footballer. In his inaugural season with Los Blancos, he played a key part in bringing two trophies to the Bernabeu, having scored in the final of both the Copa Del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.
In the following season, he scored in another major final to help the team win the FIFA Club World Cup. When given the responsibility of being the main attacking threat for the team, he has embraced the opportunity and flourished. As Ronaldo adapts his game to suit his ageing body, he is becoming more of a clinical forward than the pacy winger he used to be. This means that Bale is set to become the main attacking midfielder for the team in the very near future.
