The biggest winners and losers from Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid

#1 Loser: Gareth Bale

Rayo Vallecano de Madrid v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Gareth Bale was expected to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo last summer. The Welshman had enjoyed trophy-laden campaigns at the Santiago Bernabeu but suffered due to numerous injuries. After his thunderous bicycle kick goal against Liverpool in the Champions League final, Los Blancos hierarchy expected him to step up and lead Madrid's attack.

However, Bale failed to make any impact and struggled to find his form throughout the campaign. Injury played it's part again and Bale ended a woeful campaign with just 14 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. Due to his inconsistent performances, Bale is way down the pecking order in Zinedine Zidane's side.

There are reports suggesting Bale is not a part of Zidane's plan in the upcoming season. Even if he stays, it is clear as day that the Welshman has lost his place in the starting line-up. With the arrival of a world class winger like Hazard, Bale's place in the squad is in further jeopardy.
