WALES. GARETH. GOALS.
The fact that he rated his country Wales ahead of golf and Madrid showed not only on a rather scandalous banner held up by
Gareth Bale in
2019 but also previously on his feet, scoring three times as the continental debutants reached the Euro 2016 semis and were stopped only by eventual champions Portugal. Just when it seemed that that fairytale run by the Dragons couldn’t be repeated in Euro 2021, thanks to
Bale being benched for most of his loan season back at Spurs and also manager Ryan Giggs being dropped after being charged for assault,
Bale found a rich vein of very late form, betting 10 goals from his last 11 Spurs outings.
