On Monday (9/1), wales striker
Gareth Bale announced his retirement from the pitch. However, even though he is
considered the greatest player in the history of his country, the athlete’s
career is surrounded by ups and downs.

How Many Goals Gareth Bale Scored
and Titles Won in his Career?

The first club of the striker’s
career was Southampton, from England. Having debuted in 2006, Bale stayed at
the club until 2007, where he appeared in 45 games, contributing five goals and
12 assists.

Still in 2007, the Bale joined
Tottenham for five million pounds and left his name marked in the London club
during the period in which he played for Spurs. In addition to winning the
English League Cup (2007/08), there were 72 goals scored and 58 passes on goal.

With the bombastic passage
through Tottenham, Real Madrid signed the Welshman for approximately 101
million euros (about R$ 314 million at the time). And it was at the Real Madrid
club that Bale won 16 of the 19 titles in his career.

In addition to 106 goals and 67
assists in 258 matches, Bale formed the incredible BBC trio, composed of him,
Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, considered by many as the greatest attacking
trio in the history of football.

After leaving Madrid, the player
moved to Los Angeles FC, MLS club, where he scored just three goals in 14
matches. Even though he scored few goals, the player was decisive in the grand
final, where he scored one of the goals, guaranteeing the American League title
for Los Angeles.

For the national team, Bale is
the holder of the title of the highest scorer in the country’s history, with 40
balls in the net in 111 games, and the main responsible for taking the national
team to Euro 2020 and to the World Cup in Qatar.
