Gareth Bale again showed his capabilities with a goal that spearheaded their comeback against Arsenal in a pre-season friendly.

The papers were full of praise for Bale, with Diario AS saying “Bale doesn’t give up” and Marca saying “Bale had one bullet left”

While Bale looks to be his on way out, he may still have a role to play, especially given Marco Asensio’s cruel knee injury suffered against the Gunners. Prima facie, given the way the latter was taken away in an ambulance, it looks like an ACL, which effectively means no further part in the season for him (nine months recovery period)
