Throwback to Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo's time as Real Madrid teammates
Gareth Bale became teammates with Cristiano Ronaldo when the Welshman completed a 2013 move to Real Madrid. Bale, along with Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, formed one of the most fearsome attacking trios in European football. The trio were affectionately called 'BBC'. They often terrorized defense with their understanding on the pitch.
Bale and Ronaldo shared the pitch 157 time as teammates, combining in 41 goals. They won four UEFA Champions League titles together, among other trophies. Their partnership broke when Cristiano Ronaldo completed a 2018 summer transfer to Juventus. Ronaldo often protected Bale from the media's criticisms when the Welshman had a rough start to his Real Madrid career in 2013. Bale eventually proved his worth and became a massive player for the Madrid giants.
