Gareth Bale has bid farewell to Real Madrid in an emotional post on social media, insisting his nine-year stay at the Bernabeu was an 'incredible experience' that he will 'never forget'.
The Welshman won a host of major trophies after leaving Tottenham to complete a world-record £90million move to Madrid in 2013, including five Champions Leagues and three Spanish titles.
He is now set to depart upon the expiry of his contract this summer, and despite his fractured relationship with supporters in recent years Bale has thanked Los Blancos in a heartfelt farewell message.
