Gareth Bale bids farewell to the world of football
The star of Real Madrid’s not-so-distant years has put an end to his career on the football field
In a surprising decision announced on Monday, Gareth Bale hung up his boots and said goodbye to football
The former star of Tottenham and Real Madrid, who recently played for Los Angeles FC, wrote in part of his statement, ‘After careful and thoughtful evaluation, I announce my immediate retirement from club and national football. I am extremely happy with the realization of my dream to play the sport I love.’
From Southampton, where I first touched the ball, to Los Angeles FC, it has been a journey that brought immense pride and gratitude. 111 appearances for the Welsh national team and wearing the captain’s armband for the dream team became a reality.
