Gareth Bale
This season could just be the season Gareth Bale cements his place as one of the greatest footballers of this generation. The Welshman has been overshadowed by his more illustrious team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo ever since he made his record-breaking transfer from Tottenham to Real Madrid.
Bale, 27, is supposed to be at the peak of his career now and if his performances are anything to go by in the last 6 months, the Welshman is primed to be the superstar of this amazing Real Madrid team.

To be fair, Bale has always had an impact whenever he has been completely fit, and even in the last season, during his limited appearances, he was often the best player on the pitch. If the Welsh speedster manages to remain fit for the entire season, we might just see the winger challenge for the Ballon d'Or award next season.
This season Bale might finally put the Madrid boo-boys to rest and cement his place as one of the all-time Real Madrid greats.
