At the age of 33, Gareth Bale has announced retirement from both club and international football. The football fans are numb. Afterall Bale is an all-time great player. For the author of this post, Gareth Bale is the greatest British player to play football. Gareth Bale was one of those players who could change the course of the game all on his own. The sheer pace and physical strength he had made everyone go gaga over him.
No wonder he was bought on a record transfer fee in the summer of 2013 by the Los Blancos. However what happened next is something nothing less of a fairy tale. Bale helped Real win 5 UEFA Champions League titles, 3 La Ligas and 1 Copa Del Rey. His great run in the 2013-14 Copa Del Rey final will be remembered by every football fan, including Barca fans.
Bale was a player of big occasions. He used to perform when it mattered the most. 2015-16 season was one of his best seasons both with Real Madrid and Welsh National Side. He helped Madrid win UCL and qualified for the semi-finals of the UEFA European Championship with his national side.
He continued his incredible run in the coming seasons as well. But injuries kept him away from the ground. However, Bale performed his best whenever he stepped onto the pitch. His bicycle kick in the 2018 UCL final was indeed one of the greatest goals of the tournament. Today Bale has announced his retirement from all forms of football. Real Football fans will miss him. But he will always be there in the memories of the fans.
Happy Retirement Sir. Thank You for Everything.
