Real Madrid

A world-record transfer fee, three Champions League final goals and 15 major trophies later, Gareth Bale's Real Madrid career looks set to end witho.

He has written some great chapters, we have to recognise that.” It will be a painful way for Bale to go out, against a side and in a fixture where he scored one of football’s greatest-ever goals to earn Madrid’s 13th Champions League title in 2018. Managing to find the net 106 times in 258 games, the former Spurs and Southampton man was unstoppable at his best, and continues to still show glimpses of that in a Wales shirt – and at times last year back at Spurs. That last hurrah will come on a stage where Bale repeatedly wrote his name in history, the final of the European Cup – but with just seven appearances this season, the chances of any further impact looks obsolete. But with a trophy cabinet few can better in the history of professional football, he might not go down as a Madrid great in some eyes, but he will be seen as footballing great all the same. Absent for what would have been his final game at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Welsh footballing legend’s historical nine-year stay in the Spanish capital is at an end with just one game left to say goodbye.
