Bale: Playing for Wales more exciting than Real Madrid

Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale says that he finds it more exciting to play for Wales than for the Spanish giants.

Having already courted controversy in Spain this season due to his attitude, the 30-year-old has risked upsetting fans of the club further by indicating that he prefers featuring for his country.

Indeed, Bale has not featured for Los Blancos since sustaining a calf injury on international duty in October but has found his fitness in time to travel with Ryan Giggs’ side for a Euro 2020 qualifier against Azerbaijan on Saturday.
