#4 Not as good a finisher
Trending
Gareth Bale is one of the best headers of the ball. If he is anywhere near the goal and his head is about to make impact with the ball, one can almost be certain that the goalkeeper is going to be challenged at the very least.
However, with the ball at his feet, and near the goal, he is yet to reach that level of intimidation that he does with his head.
That composure that the Portugal No. 7 displays in front of the goal is a recherché ability that only he and Lionel Messi possess. The Welshman is quite far from that level and it is visible in the games that he plays for the club.
Ronaldo’s goals-per-game ratio for Real Madrid is over 1 while Bale’s ratio is less than even 0.5. And that is a telling testament about the difference in their finishing standards.
