Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale is the greatest player in Welsh history, an electric winger with one of the most powerful free-kicks in world football and one of the greatest UEFA Champions League winners. With Real Madrid, he won four Champions League titles, scoring extraordinary goals in decisive moments, including an incredible bicycle kick in the 2018 final against Liverpool in Kyiv. Despite his turbulent relationship with the Merengue fans and constant injuries, his legacy at Real Madrid is indisputable. He led Wales to a World Cup in 2022, the country's first in 64 years.
