This set represent Gareth Bale at the later stages of his career, particularly during his late 20s. Due to some changes in Real Madrid strategy, he was often sidelined by Zidane, who often chooses Isco as starter, and playing with number 10 in a diamond midfield. Another reason for this is because Bale had a lot of injury issues, which made him missed a lot of games. But the thing is, Bale always showed up when Real needed him most, for example in the Champions League final.

So what type of player is he become in this period? Well, not much different from his prime actually. Bale always have those immense athleticism, enabling him to run faster than most players, makes him a great asset during transitions and counter attack. Aside from that, Bale was still capable of carrying the ball well, and has tremendous shooting ability. Plus, this period shows us some wonderful headers from him, which is a result of his physical development at Madrid. Bale certainly is still one of the best forwards in the world, and proving to be ever decisive in crucial moments.
