3) Gareth Bale – Real Madrid – 7.76 rating
Gareth Bale has had a hugely encouraging first season in Spain after what may or not have been a world record transfer to Real Madrid, with differing claims over the fee.
His performances, however, are not in doubt, and despite regular comparisons with team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale has proven less driven by personal goals and willing to make sacrifices for his team-mates.
As a result, the Wales international has created nearly as many goals as he has scored.
Bale has scored 20 goals and provided 19 assists in La Liga, the UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey, and his astonishing El Clasico winner against FC Barcelona in the cup final endeared him to the club’s support.
