According to British media outlet Sports Bible, Bale recently appeared in a YouTube video and had time to select his top five strikers. He placed himself at No. 5 and Harry Kane, a former teammate of Tottenham Hotspur, was placed at No. 4. Ronaldo, also known as the Brazilian national striker and striker's best, was chosen at No. 3.스포츠토토
The No. 1 candidate was obvious. They were Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, one of the greatest rivals of the 21st century and the best players of all time. As it was a question that was decided by differences of taste, Bale also did not hesitate to choose one player. He put Ronaldo, who was a teammate of Real Madrid, at the top of the list.
Bale and Ronaldo shared their prime time at Real Madrid. Bale left Tottenham Hotspur and joined Real Madrid in 2013 and established a "BBC Line" with Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in Europe. The BBC Line formed a rivalry with the MSN Line that Barcelona established, while the two lines displayed the best attack capability ever.
Bale also displayed outstanding performances. His heyday was short, but his impact was strong. He scored 15 goals and 13 assists in 27 league matches in his first year since debut, and became Ronaldo's perfect assistant. In the 2015-16 season, he achieved an impressive record of 19 goals and 11 assists in 23 league matches.
His presence was also overflowing in the European matches. Notably, the UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool in the 2017-18 season was the highlight. Bale, who played as a substitute at the time, scored two goals in 29 minutes, including a picturesque bicycle goal, to lead his team to a 3-1 victory. It was the pinnacle of Bale's presence and the moment when he became a legend of Real.
The BBC line did not last that long. In July 2018, as Ronaldo left Real for Juventus, the BBC line was disbanded, and even Bale left Real in 2022. Later, with Benzema heading for Saudi Arabia ahead of the 2023-24 season, the BBC line disappeared into history.
