5 players that will play important roles for Real Madrid this season

#2. Gareth Bale

The Welshman could become Real Madrid's star man

The upcoming campaign presents itself as a decent opportunity for Gareth Bale to finally step up and assume the role of a main star at Real Madrid. The Welshman joined Los Blancos from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 and before now, he had lived under the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo at Santiago Bernabeu.

Although he was considering his future at the club initially, the departure of his Portuguese counterpart has given him some hope, with the attacker now ready to take on the responsibility of leading Real Madrid's attack this season.

With his vast experience and incredible talent, it is evident that the Welsh International is capable of becoming the main star in the Spanish capital. His incredible performances during the International Champions Cup has given us indications of what to expect from the attacker when the campaign eventually begins.
