Gareth Bale has made it clear that he has completely recovered from his thigh problem now, but, at the same time, he has also said that he is not sure whether he will be in the starting line up of Real Madrid in the upcoming La Liga game against the arch rivals Barcelona which will be played at Camp Nou on Saturday.
Bale has made a couple of substitute appearances for Real Madrid in the last few days and he didn’t seem to be having any kind of trouble in moving on the ground. He looked 100% fit and one can expect him to start against Barcelona.
The popularity of Real Madrid Vs Barcelona matches is massive not only in Spain but all around the world. These games are termed as ‘El Clasico’. This is the first time that Bale is going to be involved in one such game and he is very excited about it.
According to the latest betting online, Real madrid are favourites to win the match, although Unibet are offering Evens.
When asked about the upcoming match against Barcelona, Bale said, “The atmosphere is going to be amazing; that’s for sure. I am really excited.”
When asked if he thinks that he is going to start, the 24 years old Welshman said, “I don’t know to be honest. I have made two brief appearances and I have trained pretty well too in the last few days, but, to include me in the starting XI or not, that’s something which the manager has to decide.”
When asked about his experience of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo so far, Bale said, “I have got a lot of support from him. In fact, every player in the squad has treated me very well. I didn’t feel like a newcomer for a single second in that changing room. Now, I want to start performing consistently here.”
