7 players to watch out for in the Champions League this season

#5 Gareth Bale

Is this the start of his sensational yet short tenure at Real Madrid?

Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the best and most impressive wingers across Europe - thanks to his brilliant displays for Los Blancos and Wales.

Injuries have had a major impact in his career with Real Madrid till now, as the Welshman is sidelined for most of the season. A talented player like him should be electrifying the Champions League every season, but unfortunately, the bench has been a regular place for Bale.

However, his determination this season tells us that he's ready for the toughest of battles. His abilities and confidence forced Zidane and Perez to not let him leave the Santiago Bernabeu, despite him getting plenty of offers from Manchester United and PSG.

He has notched some brilliant goals last season and his goal against Roma this week was sensational, with the keeper nowhere close to saving that thunderbolt driven shot dispatched from Bale's left foot.
