With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale is expected to take the goalscoring responsibilities at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Julen Lopetegui will rely on his star forward to lead the attack and deliver goals week after week.

Though he missed a lot of games last season because of injuries, the Welshman was able to score 16 goals in just 20 La Liga starts for Real Madrid.

One of the fastest footballers in the world, Gareth Bale is key to Real Madrid’s fortunes this season. If he stays injury free, Gareth Bale could easily challenge Lionel Messi for the Pichichi Trophy.

On his day, the 29-year-old is simply unstoppable and can beat defenders at will. His pace on the flanks and great finishing abilities will certainly help Julen Lopetegui.
