Gareth Bale has endured a tragic end to his Real Madrid career

Gareth Bale had the opportunity to emerge as ’s undisputed star following ’s departure in 2018. Much to the Madridistas' disappointment, Bale failed to fill in for the Portuguese and was convincingly overshadowed by Karim Benzema. Zinedine Zidane, who started Bale on the bench in two Champions League finals (2016-17, 2017-18), eventually returned in 2019, extinguishing Bale’s chance at redemption. The winger was loaned out to Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, where he showed some flashes of his old menacing self.

Weird.Mbappe who has played 0 minutes for Real Madrid got his name chanted by our fans whilst Bale who has played 258 games and has 173 G/A for the club plus 3 UCL final goals gets booed on a daily. Weird. Many expected Bale to fare better under his old coach Carlo Ancelotti, but that has not been the case this season. He's failed to win his coach’s confidence, making only seven appearances across competitions in 2021-22, scoring once. The former Tottenham Hotspur man had all the qualities to become one of Los Blancos’ biggest legends. Sadly, injuries and tumultuous interpersonal relationships robbed him of this glorious opportunity. Considering what he has done for the Whites, it is only fair if he gets a proper farewell. It'd be interesting to see if Carlo Ancelotti gives him the opportunity to do one lap in front of the Bernabeu crowd on Friday night.
