Read our privacy policy Gareth Bale explained that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid departure has helped his turn around his form by playing on the left. The Welshman largely played on the right during the years he shared with Ronaldo at the Bernabeu, but the winger’s summer transfer to Juventus means Bale can now play in a "comfortable position". Santiago Solari, Real Madrid manager, started Bale on the left of an attacking midfield in the European champions’ Club World Cup semi-final against Kashima Antlers, where he scored all three goals in Madrid’s 3-1 win. "It's great to score, but the most important thing is to help the team and reach the final.” The 29-year-old has scored 10 goals in 21 matches in all competitions during a productive start to the season despite Real Madrid’s early slump.
