Gareth Bale

Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final
Phenomenal!

With hindsight, it's safe to say that the 2017-18 season was a substandard one for Gareth Bale as recurring injury problems blighted his chances of success. As a result, he saw himself fall down the pecking order under Zidane, with his berth being usurped by the talented duo of Lucas Vázquez and Marco Asensio.

Nevertheless, Cristiano Ronaldo's exit has opened up playing minutes for many overlooked players at Real Madrid and Gareth Bale is one of them. Consequently, he has reportedly decided to stay at Real Madrid and will play a key role under Julen Lopetegui.


Eden Hazard

Real Madrid are currently in pole position to lure him to Santiago Bernabeu as they face stiff competition for the Belgium international. If the deal is materialized, Hazard would be a profound presence on the left flank.

Granted that he won't score as many goals as Cristiano Ronaldo, but he can surely whip in some heaven-sent neat assists for his team-mates.
