When Bale came in, it gave Don Carlo the freedom to push Cristiano into that proper number 9 role as a finisher, and Benzema could just chill in that false 9 / second striker spot where he thrives. But the real game-changer was Madrid’s counter attacks hit god mode. Bale was way faster than Di Maria, Özil, Kaká, or Higuaín (all the attacker from the Mourinho era) and way more direct, super efficient, like a typical British winger.
Still, I sometimes wonder… if Bale had played under Mourinho, he might’ve unlocked a whole other level. Benítez kinda tried that, he played Bale as a number 9 and kept Cristiano out wide. It worked at first, but then tensions started to build between them. Results weren’t great either, Benítez got sacked, Zidane taking over, and the rest is history.
He was world class in his prime. It's a shame that Real Madrid didn't value his quality more in the end. At the moment, Real don't have a player as good as him in their squad, not even Mbappe.
Even as a Ronaldo fan, I have to say that they were pushing his agenda more than Bale's. Bale's bicycle kick vs Liverpool was much more beautiful, harder, more techincal, the touch and leap was perfect, and even on a CL final. But they glazed Ronaldo's more
I'm glad to know that people are now finally appreciating Gareth Bale, realizing how rare talent he was. But, where were you all when we was struggling? I'm proud to be among those who stood and supported him during his hard times because players like him are ones in millions, in fact billions should I say. Now, when Madrid is not having a proper RW, you are missing Gareth Bale but I have been missing him and loving him since years…💔🥺 LOVE YOU GARETH FRANK BALE❤🩹👑

is it just me or does ronaldo always seem pissed when bale scored? hes making a movement like "why didn't you pass to me instead"
Looked what he has done for real madrid none of the player now has not done even20% of what he did

Prime Bale was better than Neymar…

Madrid fans never appreciated this guy.. won them 2 major cups and treated him like shit..

One of the most underrated players ever.

Bale was highly underrated player
2013-2014 Bale was ballon dor worthy

LOVE YOU GARETH FRANK BALE❤🩹👑
❤
the only player that made ronaldo look slow
Barcelona fan here, but i always loved to watch Gary Bale with Real Madrid, he was amazing!
You always here "he's back " or his in full service now because the man was always injured
Bale was an anime character.
I loved him so much in Real, he was almost as good as CR, we really miss him
I miss the whole squad of his generation in real madrid❤
Remember this beast of a player chose golf over football
Prime Bale is closer to prime CR7 than Prime Neymar is to him
