4 Real Madrid players who are benefiting from Cristiano Ronaldo's departure

#1 Gareth Bale

Bale is gradually becoming the superstar of the team

One of the most impressive attackers in the football world at the moment, Welsh superstar, Gareth Bale is on the verge of reaching his full potential at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. The winger joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2013, but for several years, he lived under the shadow of his ex-teammate - Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bale is now benefiting immensely from Ronaldo's decision to quit Real Madrid for the Italian top flight this summer, taking his game to a new dimension and gradually establishing himself as the main superstar in the Spanish capital.

The winger has started the new La Liga campaign in an explosive form, leading Los Blancos attack efficiently and tormenting opposition defenses in the division. Three incredible goals in just 3 appearances predict nothing but greatness for the Welsh International at Santiago Bernabeu during the campaign.
