Gareth Bale

Even if Bartra wasn't injured he couldn't stop Bale. Let's face it, he's too quick.
But I don't like this kind of player who push the ball up front and run like headless chicken… against parked bus he can't do anything, and a lot of madridistas complained about him many times this season when Madrid faced defensive teams who don't leave spaces behind their defense.

You clearly haven't watched him at Tottenham. It was ridiculous the number of times he unlocked a parked bus tailored for a draw on his own when he was the main man at Spurs.

Bale is having a great first season at Madrid and will only improve. Any difficulties he has had is probably because of the fact that he's still getting used to a new league, team etc.

Tottenham played against buses?

He wasn't a headless chicken in his run. Watch exactly what he did before receiving the ball. He knew exactly where he was heading with this and knew exactly what he was doing. He looked at Coentrao, looked behind Barta, got close to Bartra and played the ball in space, knowing that in a foot race he'd win. He used his strength to maintain his footing and his speed to accelerate away from the poor kid. The control afterwards was nervy and the finish was decent.

I repeat it again, this guy is better than Ronaldo was at his age.

The team is NOT built around him yet look at how he plays. Last year with Tottenham he had absolute control, not anymore yet he is breaing his previous year's record.
People just don't want to admit it because they compare him to Neymar but I repeat again before you jump on me: Neymar has a much higher ceiling whereas I see Bale as a better version of Robben.

[BrianSwan]

He's not as good as Ronaldo but he's still a fantastic player.

worst player on the pitch...but ofcourse this is 2014, how many tap ins u score is the only thing that matters.

Bale had a better season than neymar and he topped it off with the winner in extra time in the champions league final. Doesn't get bigger than that.

yes it does. playing well and scoring.

He scored a cl winner. Even if he had a bad game, he made a huge difference. Repayed his fee already, imo.

there's been plenty players who scored in cl final. non of them had their value rise to 100m instantly.
