Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid CF - Copa del Rey: Semi Final - Second Leg
Time to remove the dead wood!

#1 Gareth Bale

Real Madrid CF v Sporting Clube de Portugal - UEFA Champions League
Gareth Bale

No one would ever forget the amazing goal Gareth Bale scored against Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey Final 2014, where he solely tore Barcelona's defence apart. Before last season, he looked like the Galactico Florentino Perez was searching for. But since then, Bale has often been linked with moves away from Madrid and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him leave the club next summer.

From mid 2016/17 season, his career has been marred by frustrating injuries and lack of form. Last season, Zidane even found a successful way of playing without Bale by playing Isco behind Benzema and Ronaldo, which was a major reason of Bale not being rushed into the Champions League final playing XI even after being fit.

Bale was courted highly by Manchester United in the summer and Real Madrid too are reportedly keeping tabs on Mohammed Salah as a replacement for the inconsistent Welshman.
