Gareth Bale – Real Madrid
Trending
Should he be fit to take on Barcelona, the spotlight will be firmly on Gareth Bale and his eagerness to bomb forward on that right-hand side and cause the defence a whole lot of trouble. Bale is one of the most dangerous wingers in the game and has shown great strength to come back to fine form despite his long injury.
The Welshman will most likely face off against Jordi Alba who can match him for pace but near the box, with Barcelona’s less-than-confident centre-backs to deal with, Bale could have the kind of game that could define his time with Real Madrid.
He’s overdue a performance to outshine everyone else on the field and this El Clasico might finally be the kind of match that places some much-needed trust and faith on the 27-year-old’s shoulders.
