Gareth Bale
You may be thinking that Bale already had his breakthrough last year, but not really. He came in with La Liga already underway, suffered with injuries and had to adapt to a new position. His goals and assists made everyone forget about his heavy price tag. Everybody still wondered what a full preseason could do to his form.
Being one of the best players this preseason, Bale seemed to take care of himself during the break. With undoubtedly better Spanish and a full year next to his teammates, the Welshman will give even more. He was intermittent in the Spanish Super Cup, yet he still needs to find his competition form. Once he finds it, he will pick up after his great last season.
Since Benzema has extended his contract, the BBC will continue to be important. Karim is the best partner for Bale and Ronaldo. If Gareth continues to adapt well to the right wing, and even surprise at times on the left one, he shall have an even better season. He’s already shown his goal scoring ability with 22 goals. He’s not far behind in the assists departments with 15. If all goes well with injuries and form, he will definitely beat those numbers.
