Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur for a then world record fee of £85 million in the summer transfer window of 2014. Though his career at the Bernabeu is plagued with injuries, he managed to make an impact at the club and scored 93 goals in the 204 games that he played for the club in all competitions.
The Cardiff born attacker won one LaLiga title, four Champions League trophies, one Copa del Rey along with one Supercopa de Espana and three UEFA Super Cup with the Los Blancos. He was a part of the UEFA Champions League team of the season 2015-16 and was also included in the FIFA FIFPro Third Team twice.
The former Tottenham Hotspur attacker remained under the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo ever since his move to the Spanish capital but Ronaldo's departure to Juventus during the last summer transfer window gave Bale the chance to become the main man in the team.
