FC Barcelona v Real Madrid - Copa del Rey Semi Final
When Ronaldo left the Bernabeu before the start of this season, everyone knew Real Madrid would struggle. To replace such an iconic figure was next to impossible. The stage was set for a man to step up, take over the mantle and become a legend. For Gareth Bale, it was finally time to walk out of the Portuguese's shadow.

The Welshman had a chance to finally get his due, but unfortunately, Bale failed to grab the opportunity. His injuries have hurt him again, but even when fit, he has been neither impressive nor inspirational for his club.
Bale has scored just 14 goals and registered 4 assists from 35 games in all competitions. He has largely been ineffective for Real Madrid and it might be too optimistic to assume that he would regain his form next season.

The Welshman's recent lack of form should be the main reason why Manchester United should steer clear of this transfer. There are quite a few players around who would be a better option than Gareth Bale.
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
