, winning five Champions League, three La Liga and one Spanish Cup titles.

The 33-year-old made 258 appearances for the Whites, scoring 106 goals. His later years at the Bernabeu were marred by controversies and injuries, but he is and will always be a Madrid legend.

 in the Champions League final, the score was 1-1 after regulation time and it was Bale who gave the Whites the lead in the 110th minute, heading the ball into the net from a point-blank range. Ancelotti's men ended up destroying Atleti in the remaining ten minutes, winning the game 4-1.
