5 attackers who have started the new LaLiga campaign explosively

#3 Gareth Bale

Real Madrid CF v CD Leganes - La Liga — Bale has taken his game to a new level

Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, Real Madrid needed to get a replacement for the attacker. While the club refused to make any marquee signing to replace the Portuguese, they have found an incredible superstar who has started filling part of the void the winger left behind in the person of Welsh International Gareth Bale.

The former Tottenham Hotspur maestro is on course to reach greater heights in his career this season, producing a couple of scintillating performances and gradually assuming the role of the main superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bale has started the new LaLiga campaign with a big bang, tormenting opposition defenses on the right flank with his incredible pace and amazing talent. He has bagged a spectacular 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 appearances in the division so far this term - and he is definitely just getting started.
