"Gareth Bale was frightening to face as a defender. If you gave him space to run behind you, he would cook you. If you gave him space to run in front of you, he’d still cook you. If you hedged off him 30 or 40 yards from goal, he’d unleash a long distance slinger. If you gave him the outside, he would blitz the wing and put in a ball to Ronaldo or Benzema’s feet. If you gave him the inside, he’d cut in and shoot. He was a towering aerial presence, technically gifted in tight spaces (an underrated trait of his), and worked extremely hard defensively at his peak."
