The next Real Madrid Champions League circular of 16 opposite Manchester City will require the current La Liga champions to be in the most sensible way. But a notable difference in his lineup includes the exclusion of former stellar extreme Gareth Bale.
The last few months have not been the best productive for the Welsh superstar as it has been relegated to the bench of Real Madrid. Considered one of the most prolific players of the match, Bale has only noticed 16 appearances in the La Liga season this year and has been sitting on the bench for 10 games. The relationship between Bale and Zinedine Zidane has not been as harmonious for more than a year. There have been several occasions when the two have disagreed.
The four-time Champions League champion regarded as one of the most productive stars in the world with his way of dominating the pitch. Throughout his career, he has excelled as an experienced goalscorer. In 203 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, he has scored 56 times and 58 assists. The former Tottenham player of the year was then transferred to Real Madrid in 2013, where he lately played 251 games, along with 105 goals and 68 assists.
The next match against Manchester City has Bale out of line-up. Bale will most likely no longer have a short-term or long-term team position if this continues. Having Bale included in the next attack would have caused more tension because he would have sat on the bench anyway, according to The Real Champs of Fansided.
The last la Liga championship was Real Madrid’s 34th trophy, which adds to the organization’s illustrious list of achievements. The Champions League is a family territory for Zinedine Zidane as coach, as he has amassed club coaching prizes. With 3 consecutive titles from 2016 to 2018, Real Madrid will have their eyes on some other trophy for their club.
Los Blancos stars are expected to succeed Real Madrid against Manchester City. Whether or Bale is included in the list, it will be attractive to see how Real Madrid will behave in a high-risk match.
