I was lucky enough to see the guy play multiple times live for the national team. The amount of historical and iconic goals I saw from the guy, he is a once in a lifetime player for such a small nation, and I got to witness him first hand.
yes coming from die hard Messi fan, his strike on ball was something else , out of this world. Watching him play was very joyous, he could show something which has never been seen.
He was the complete player, the only thing that held him back was injuries. Too powerful and fast for his own good. Also, his right foot wasn’t the strongest but I mean, with a left like his, it didn’t matter. Miss him a lot, one of my favorite players ever
@IAmTetsuo1 yes bro, Griezmann is complete as hell. Scores all types of goals, makes all types of passes, very skillful, and great dribbler. Can even defend
@@vexaballer-2286 yeah I don't find him to be nowhere close to Bale, never seen or heard of griezman leaving defenders in the dust like Bale did to Bartra or Maicon through sheer athleticism and pace for example, among a few others things I can name...but if that's your opinion oh well.
Most underrated player next to di maria. Any given day, prime bale vs anyone is 50/50. Prime R9, Prime R7, Prime Messi, Bale could definitely match. It's just that he's humble and is a team player. He doesn't shoot 20 times.
Bale was football, he started as left back and ended as world class right winger, even though he wasn't take football seriously like some other sport, the legend...
Extremely well put together video, and even the doubters will find it hard to disagree after watching. As a Madridista myself, he was an absolute weapon but too underutilised and underappreciated, which led to him underperforming. Despite a stellar career as probably the most successful British player of all time, we all were frustrated because we knew he still had so much more to offer. His last year under Zidane, he was barely used; the fans were torn between hating him for his "Wales. Golf. Madrid" banner, but also perplexed as to why such a good player would be left on the bench. Some of us thought he was finished, but when he got loaned back to Tottenham for one season, he started absolutely wrecking shop with Harry Kane and Son in attack. Insane guy. But once again, let me congratulate you on your video: the skills you've chosen to display and the way you've organised them show that you might be right. What edges him ahead of even Ronaldo is the fact that he started out as a defender, making him even more complete. It's genuinely hard to think of a player who could do so many things, and do them so well. Only one that comes to mind is Bellingham, but he's not that good at free-kicks (yet), not as fast, and his dribbling doesn't look as fluid. But hey they both played for Madrid so I'm happy.
After watching the highlights back in January 2011 I absolutely fell in love watching him, watching him pay was my football ❤ after he retired football went dark! I no longer have the same passion to watch football Coming from a Barcelona fan!
He is my favourite player,i stopped watching football when he retired,He was so Underrated,very calm and Humble guy too ,for me you are Best Gareth love from India🇮🇳
If you mean the free kick against galatasaray, is in a video of bale's goals in the uefa.tv app. If you mean the following clip of Southampton, is in a video of Bale's goals on the Southampton website
His last 2 seasons at Tottenham and then the beginning of his career at real Madrid, he was probably the best all round player in the world. He just didn't have the longevity like messi and Ronaldo did. Its a shame because he was so good to watch at his best.
His frequent injuries prevented him from keeping form for long stretches. He would play 5-6 games and get injured and miss 1-2 months. Or he would have minor discomforts and miss 1-2 matches. Had he been injury free, he would have definitely been the best after CR7/Messi. He even was the 3d best in 2016, had a monster euros and ucl campaign.
they actually know CR7 is better and have all of the complete qualities. but they hate him because he is a threat to messi ps:- pls dont come up with the robbed d'ors and the penalty cup from qatar
Jogador mais rapido da história do futebol sem dúvidas. No auge 2014 slk cara tinha um motor nas pernas corria parecia q todos eram lento . Fora a força dos chute de longa distância.
no change.. Prime R9 Ronaldo is, ofc his short tenure due to injuries lowers his all time value. Peak R9 is a 1 man team, not even best italian defenses could stop him.
Loool he could not even get into the first team in his prime... And plus he was playing during the Ronaldo and Messi Era so that pretty much quashes it
No, Bale was not like that. He stopped playing football early and was injured a lot. Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who is best at everything in the game and is also the strongest.
@@user-mh6nm5mv4b love bale dude. madridista here. But he aint better than Salah and Mane. better than ribery though, but modern liverpool became strong and dangerous since Salah and Mane. jst because one goal against them in UCL doesnt make bale better than them in every aspect
@@jerrymaguire5 Bale is miles clear of salah and mane lmao. He turned up in 3 ucl finals, was destroying prime inter at 21 years old and has one of the most impressive international careers
Rooney🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we talk about one that without injuries was with neymar the only two have sam tier or just little behind messi and cr7 and u say fukn rooney😂😂😂😂
and can rooney manage a defensive line like a centre half? can he track a runner like a world class fullback? the only players near this conversation are those in the mould of matthaus, yaya toure etc.. rooney and bale are nowhere close, just silly suggestions, its like you people dont even know what the word complete means.
@@jewel77jewel14 what an endlessly insightful response, thank you for that. anyway - ill reiterate as simply as possible; you (and the video uploader) seem to think that complete attacker means the same thing as complete footballer. it does not.
As a pro-footballer he was a great amateur golfer - as an amauteur golfer playing footie, he could have been great. But between his never-ending fast-twitch muscle injuries, and his often lackadaisical performances, no, not by a long shot.
Complete? He was the opposite of complete. He was a physical freak, with ureal pace, power, and huge lung capacity. He also had a big shot on him. Other than that, there really wasn't much else to his game. I can literally think of 100+ players who are/were better all-round footballers. Even at 20, Jude Bellingham is a _much_ more complete player.
I was lucky enough to see the guy play multiple times live for the national team. The amount of historical and iconic goals I saw from the guy, he is a once in a lifetime player for such a small nation, and I got to witness him first hand.
How are you complete when you don't have a right foot
@@Imperialbbuilding They played him on the right wing at Madrid. Of course he could play with his right foot.
@@goattm2not really Arjen Robben played on the right for Bayern and was very one footed
yes coming from die hard Messi fan, his strike on ball was something else , out of this world. Watching him play was very joyous, he could show something which has never been seen.

His prime was monstrous, but injuries prevented us from seeing him at that level year after year
Definitely the most complete forward. Although someone who comes close is Griezmann. Him and Bale are two of my favourite players ever
Griezmann???...what a joke
@IAmTetsuo1 yes bro, Griezmann is complete as hell. Scores all types of goals, makes all types of passes, very skillful, and great dribbler. Can even defend

Maybe his prime was too good to be real...
He was my favorite player thanks for the video
My favorite player too, I hope you enjoyed the video
I was a ronaldo big fan, but when bale play, ronaldo is the second person to who i look
Bale was football, he started as left back and ended as world class right winger, even though he wasn't take football seriously like some other sport, the legend...
My fav player! it was an honour to see him play! he made me fall in love with Real Madrid! thanks for the memories legend!

Thanks for your comment and I agree, I think he was wasted in his last years

Bale always looked like he could do everything without much effort
He was extremely good
Yes, he is. My goat forever.💯💥
Mon idole 🐐🏴, magnifique vidéo
Thanks!
great video appreciate the hardwork
14:24 but where did you found this cam angle?!!!
first time i seen it ever.... well done

A Fire comp bro, best bale one ever for sure
Thanks!!
What a player💔 keep going❤🔥
Happy Holidays!! And thanks again for another fantastic video.
Thanks, happy holidays to you too!
the rightful heir to CR7 just like Neymar was for Messi shame how it ended for both of them
His last 2 seasons at Tottenham and then the beginning of his career at real Madrid, he was probably the best all round player in the world. He just didn't have the longevity like messi and Ronaldo did. Its a shame because he was so good to watch at his best.
🐐🏴
my goat
💯
he might be not skillfull as Ronaldo, but he was complete player
I miss him ...
We all
Ese saque largo dejaba a todos boquiabiertos ❤
He was a real machine
His frequent injuries prevented him from keeping form for long stretches. He would play 5-6 games and get injured and miss 1-2 months. Or he would have minor discomforts and miss 1-2 matches. Had he been injury free, he would have definitely been the best after CR7/Messi. He even was the 3d best in 2016, had a monster euros and ucl campaign.
the answer of your questions is yes, bro even good at others sports, golf, basket, tennis etc.
Zidane ruined him
This is what football at the highest level looks like.
The title of the video 😂😂😂😂😂
its facts so you can keep crying all day long
🐐
All the messi fans not saying Ronaldo is the most complete player of all time makes me burst out laughing so hard😂😂😂
why would they something that is objectively false??
@@m3ga975here is a salty messi fan 😂
they actually know CR7 is better and have all of the complete qualities. but they hate him because he is a threat to messi
ps:- pls dont come up with the robbed d'ors and the penalty cup from qatar

Could you do bale 2012/13 season comps
And the best trivela after queresma
Yeah underrated skill
I used to think Gareth Bale was the new Alfredo Di Stefano
Jogador mais rapido da história do futebol sem dúvidas. No auge 2014 slk cara tinha um motor nas pernas corria parecia q todos eram lento . Fora a força dos chute de longa distância.
A cheetah ⚡
I can name four players that are/were faster than him in terms of pure speed - Mbappe, Davies, Henry
And Traore
yes
The player most complet
If he wasnt injury prone and had the same work ethnic as Ronaldo, he would have surpassed CR7
He played on the same field with the most complete footballer of all time and GOAT, CR7. Bale was a real good player himself though, props to him.
Love It ❤❤
Gareth Bale is arguably among the top 5 greatest British players of all time.
He’s number 1
Top in top 5
Yes 10
@@user-mh6nm5mv4b No cuz number 1 is between George Best and Bobby Charlton
@@nkraramparambil7819 No he's not number

His prime was until 2016, so he was on the bench in those days?
@@GarethBale11H might as well have been
@@DaniaAbraham-z3n "might as well have been" 😂🤡 you would have told that to Zidane or Ancelotti, they would surely listen to you 🥴
not the most but for sure one of them
His right foot were not good enough... its neymar or R9 who had everything but wasted due to injuries overload 💔
Good, but the best.... ?... Don´t forget R9.. the GOAT!
That title belongs to CR7. Nevertheless Bale was still one of the most complete attackers during his time.
cheetah ❤❤❤❤
What about way Rooney?
Answer is a resounding no
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
He was awesome, sadly he just had a glass mentality.
Should have been a man united player
Great player but messi,rooney,henry,neymar are some examples who are literally better
No, Bale was not like that. He stopped playing football early and was injured a lot. Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who is best at everything in the game and is also the strongest.
I honestly thought this guy was a cristiano clone they are so similar its insane bale is faster tho 😅
Guilt
No. Is the simple answer.
Nope.
Truly one of my favourite players ever!
No. Ruud Gullit is a candidate.
One of threm sure and also he is better than the likes of salah mane, ribery,
salah???
mane???

Cristiano Ronaldo exists.
The most complete footballer of all time? Who is running this channel? His mother?
nope
no
No.
and he don´t even liked football
He was good, but not even top 20 of all time. So no.
Thiis video is a joke right??? Most complete footballer of all time??! Are we just insane?
No. To bad with right leg.
Bale is one of them.
But for me the most complete is still Wayne Rooney.
Rooney🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we talk about one that without injuries was with neymar the only two have sam tier or just little behind messi and cr7 and u say fukn rooney😂😂😂😂

You say that Bale was only physical and then you name Bellingham that he is not better in any aspect of the game than Bale 😂😂
He was also a great header of the ball and was excellent at free kicks and was fantastic defensively, Id have him over Bellingham in a heartbeat!!
This guy is a legend. What he had done was above the bar. 🫡

No.
