BALE, AN EARLY DOUBT FOR LIVERPOOL

Welsh international Gareth Bale is an early doubt for the Champions League final clash with Liverpool in Paris later this month due to injury. The Welshman has missed the last four Real Madrid games as a result of a back problem.


Gareth Bale knows a lot about playing against Liverpool in the Champions League final after he scored twice for Real Madrid on the way to a 3-1 win during the 2018 Champions League final. The Welshman was an important player for Real Madrid at the time, but he’s no longer seen as an important player at the club. As a matter of fact, Gareth Bale is on course of a bench role at least if he’s fit for the upcoming Champions League final. Continue reading BALE, AN EARLY DOUBT FOR LIVERPOOL

The future of Gareth Bale at Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid is quite a complicated one and there have been many things written about it in the media. While Bale appears to be disinterested in playing for the club again sometimes, other times, he just appears to be someone who just wants to try and enjoy his football. The larger part of the period when he appeared to be totally uninterested in playing football was under the club’s former manager Zinedine Zidane. The French manager fell out with the Wales international winger for a reason that is yet to be revealed and it not only cost him a place in the Real Madrid team, it also increased his disinterest in football.

After Zidane left the club, many thought that the time for Bale to regain his place in the starting XI would finally come and it was looking even more likely when Carlo Ancelotti was confirmed as the man that would be replacing Zidane at the helm. Italian manager Ancelotti had a good working relationship with Bale during his previous stint as Real Madrid manager and it was the main reason that got people thinking that the Welsh winger would finally be allowed to have some game time.
