Football is going around, especially in the big clubs. And in Real Madrid, unexpected surprises. One of them is the team’s future this season, where some players who seemed unlikely could have a more prominent position than expected.
Gareth Bale is one of the players who could count on important minutes. The good news for the Welshman could be confirmed in the next few hours unless there is an unexpected turn of events. Florentino Perez himself is also surprised.
The truth is that Gareth Bale could start Sunday’s game against Barcelona. In La Liga Clasico, with some surprises. And while Gareth Bale is out of contract at the end of this season, he could play his last big game in white this weekend. It was an unreal choice a few days ago, but it is now increasingly possible.
This opportunity will depend on the development of the injured Real Madrid players. Ferland Mendy, Karim Benzema and Rodrigo Goes left the match against Mallorca with physical problems. In the next few hours, new medical tests will be carried out to confirm if they are available for the Clasico.
Therefore, Bale can have a golden opportunity to play his last Clasico. Eden Hazard does not have the confidence of Carlo Ancelotti and Marco Asensio will be the other option for the Whites attack. But Gareth Bale has more numbers to play in his favour, because even though he didn’t play a big role, he was always helpful when he did.
He has played 5 matches this season and scored one goal. The Welshman’s last appearance was in the last minutes of the first leg of the 16th round of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain. And now he could become the biggest surprise for the formation of Carlo Ancelotti in the Classic.
And it wouldn’t be a bad solution for the Italian coach, as he also has the options of Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz on the bench. But none of the attackers seem to have better options than Bale.
The Welshman is also experienced in El Clasico, having played up to 15 matches against Barcelona, scoring two goals and making one. It would be a good way to say goodbye to the Santiago Bernabeu.
