#6 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo called time on his Real Madrid career and moved to Juventus earlier this summer, much of the onus seems to have fallen on Gareth Bale, with plenty of talk about him being the new spearhead for Los Blancos.

In the final of the 2017-18 Champions League, the Welsh star came off the bench in the second half to score an all-important brace (that included an acrobatic bicycle kick) to help Madrid make history by winning their third consecutive Champions League trophy.
In 4 LaLiga games this season, Bale has already scored 3 goals and assisted 2 more, proving that he is, in fact, relishing the spotlight at the front of Madrid's attack. While Madrid's attack has certainly been robbed of venom since Ronaldo's departure, this is the perfect time for Bale to shine and succeed Ronaldo as the main goalscorer in the side. Bale's performances are bound to have a telling effect on Madrid's campaign.
